AI Genealogy
Research Kit
Everything you need to start using AI more deliberately
Instead of giving you a collection of generic AI tricks, the kit is designed around the actual stages of genealogy research.
Research Question Builder
Turn a vague genealogy problem into a focused question that AI can actually help you investigate.
Practical AI Prompts
Ready-to-adapt prompts for records, historical context, hypotheses, transcription, DNA genealogy and research planning.
AI Research Workflow
A simple process for moving from question to AI assistance, verification and documented conclusions.
Evidence Checker
Separate what the source actually says from interpretation, hypothesis and AI-generated suggestions.
AI & Historical Records
Use AI to understand unfamiliar record types, terminology, abbreviations and historical context.
AI Research Log
Keep track of your questions, AI suggestions, sources checked and decisions made during your research.
Privacy & Family Data
A checklist for what not to paste into an AI tool — and how to anonymise sensitive family information before you do.
Spotting AI Hallucinations
Learn to recognise invented sources, false citations and confident-sounding claims that have no evidence behind them.
Designed to be used — not just read
The kit combines short explanations with practical pages you can actually use while working on a genealogy problem.
What am I actually trying to find out?
Break a complicated research problem into a question that can be investigated step by step.
Give AI the right job
Use structured prompts to ask AI to compare, organize, explain, question and suggest — rather than simply guess.
What do I actually know?
Keep facts, interpretations, hypotheses and AI suggestions clearly separated.
The core principle
Use AI to help you think and work faster — while keeping the evidence and final judgement in your hands.
The kit expands this into a seven-step workflow — including gathering what you already know and challenging every AI answer before you verify it.
AI should make your research stronger — not less rigorous
The kit deliberately treats AI as a research assistant rather than an authority.
AI is good at
Organizing information, explaining unfamiliar concepts, suggesting research questions, comparing possibilities, helping with transcription and translation, summarizing material and helping you see patterns worth investigating.
You still need to do
Source verification, evidence evaluation, identity resolution, interpretation of conflicting records and the final decision about what your research actually proves.
Useful whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with it
Beginning genealogists
Learn how to ask better questions and use AI without becoming overwhelmed by technical terminology or complicated workflows.
Experienced researchers
Add AI to an established research process without sacrificing source quality, documentation or genealogical standards.
Genetic genealogists
Explore ways AI can support DNA research, hypotheses, match analysis and research planning while keeping genetic evidence separate from speculation.
