   I've been using AI to help with my genealogical research, and it's been fantastic. I am loving pushing the family history back and catching mistakes that someone who many others share as a common ancestor have made.

      My unlock in genealogy research was using <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.familysearch.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.familysearch.org&#x2F; with from Claude Code with Claude-in-Chrome (for browser control). You may need to occasionally confirm your humanity and limit Claude’s bot-ness, but it can still move quickly to gather the info.

         familysearch.org + ancestry.com + genealogybank.com + archive.org + random institutional websites or government sources have been my top so far.

         I throw it all together into a multi-agent team doing fact and source gathering, network tracking, location processing, and coverage analysis. Basically industrializing the research and creation of genealogical profiles of ancestors.

         Wild times.
