Earlier this week, I had ChatGPT share with us how to guide someone in starting their genealogy. Today, I’m going to use it to help me in my genealogy. Here is the prompt I used using the LifeStory feature on Ancestry:
Create a research plan in Excel for Francis Doty using the information I have. (And then I pasted in the LifeStory information).
ChatGPT then created an Excel file for me with a basic checklist of what to look for. It didn’t do any work for me— It just created questions that I may not have remembered to ask. I enjoy using it for good and not evil! I ran this prompt for several of my folks before I ran out of free prompts for the day. The good thing is that I can always go back tomorrow!
