October 2026 Mini-Seminar Event
AI for Family Historians:
From Research to Storytelling
with Andrew Redfern
With in-person seating limited, we will also be offering this event for the first time via Zoom/Online.
This practical session is designed to help you find sure footing, showing you how AI can genuinely assist across the full arc of family history work, from the earliest stages of research right through to sharing your findings with others. Whether you're an experienced genealogist wary of getting it wrong or a newcomer unsure where to begin, Andrew will help you cut through the uncertainty. Through practical demonstrations, you'll see exactly where AI earns its place in your workflow, where its limitations lie, and how to keep yourself firmly in the driver's seat, using AI as a capable assistant, never a replacement for your own judgement. The session also covers the ethical essentials: privacy, security, transparency and bias, so you can make confident, informed decisions about what role AI should play in your research. |
