“Practical Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications for Genealogists” – By Glenn York

Presentation:

Artificial intelligence can be a powerful assistant in genealogical research and writing. In this session, we will explore practical applications of AI, including locating records, transcribing historical documents, suggesting research avenues, and drafting ancestor sketches.

Speaker:

Glenn York is a professional genealogist with decades of research experience across the United States. He began genealogical research in the 1980s at the National Archives and the Library of Congress.

He uses a wide range of technology and resources to research his family and assist others with research.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in social science and a master’s degree in telecommunications and has completed more than a dozen genealogical institute courses.

Glenn is a past President of the Larimer County Genealogical Society and serves as delegate to the National Genealogical Society for the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies. Glenn York is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, National Genealogical Society, Genealogical Speakers Guild, and other historical organizations.

Glenn facilitates monthly DNA study groups, teaches genealogy classes, and volunteers at a local library. He also administers the BATES and RALEY Y-DNA surname projects and co-administers the Colonial Swedish DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.
