SUMMARY:Breaking Through Brick Walls with Denyse Allen (Olde Meck April Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 8 for a practical and engaging program with Denyse Allen\, founder of Chronicle Makers\, where she helps family historians turn decades of research into published stories their families will actually read. \nDenyse’s presentation\, “Breaking Through Brick Walls: AI-Powered Research Strategies That Actually Work\,” will focus on how AI can help genealogists take a fresh look at stubborn research problems. Stuck ancestors are not always truly stuck — sometimes they simply require new strategies and a different way of analyzing the evidence already in hand. \nIn this engaging session\, Denyse will demonstrate how AI can help researchers: \n\nanalyze evidence they already have\nidentify gaps in their research\ngenerate new search strategies\nconnect records they may have overlooked
