AI for Genealogists Presentation
By Russ Hamilton
Zoom Session Only
AI is transforming genealogical research. As a genealogist delving into the world of AI, Russ will introduce the basic concept of AI and explain how it can transform your research process. AI can be used to analyze historical records, decipher handwritten documents, transcribe audio files, and provide context to your findings. Learn practical applications to enhance your research and uncover new family history insights.
Understand AI, how it is being applied in our everyday lives, and what a genealogist should know about its use. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, this session will offer insights into utilizing AI with your genealogy research.
Russ Hamilton is the Newsletter Editor and Webmaster for Foothills Genealogical Society. His fascination with genealogy began in 2006 when he discovered an online family cemetery. The names of the people there sparked his curiosity and started his journey into family history research.

With Colorado's sesquicentennial upon us, what do we know about our pioneers? Who is still missing? How can we help researchers find those illusive pioneers?
Nancy will share the Colorado Genealogy Society plans for creating a database of pioneers in Colorado and will be asking for participation to add to those lists from FhGS four counties.
We do not have to be descendants of pioneers, anyone can help and contribute. We have plenty of gravestones with info as well as the early Census records, etc.
Let’s share their stories.
