Good Morning. I do very extensive genealogy research with many services. Some use AI. I have found AI can be a useful tool, but it has its’ limitations. Occasionally AI interprets information completely wrong. Additionally, it does not give you the true meaning of the document. There are many tools that will help decipher and interpret documents. I find it useful best not to use AI where other tools are available. I have extensive trees that date my German and English heritage back to the 1500s or more. AI will never replace humans. AI cannot think, it interprets. The one given being is that if you make one simple mistake it can cause your trees to be complete wrong. AI cannot spot those mistakes. Genealogy is a slow and deliberate science
Happy New Year
Mike Thompson
Even more impressive that a machine composed it.
It is impressive, but it raises the issue of what may be the uses and abuses of Ai in the realm of genealogy. Has anyone looked into this?
Regards, and best wishes to all for a healthy and happy New Year! -- GaryM.

Genealogically speaking, when the English wills get transcribed (and some are being transcribed using AI) and made “available”, then turning AI loose with that info could do wonders for “Colonials” looking for British relatives.

My view has always been that the value of technology lies mainly in the users intent. However, with AI things become somewhat blurred.

Yes..I have “toyed” with the AI modules in MyHeritage. ? From a computer science perspective, I found it both interesting and impressive in some regards. ? As a social scientist/genealogist, it was a stark reminder that AI can be a useful tool, but is no substitute for human expertise and knowledge. ? Richard ?

Tried it when I researched the Cookes of West Sussex.
AI needs more access to be useful.

The Ancestral Quest: A Genealogist's Tale
(To the tune of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle")
Verses:
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
Of seekers bold and sly,
Who swabbed their cheeks with a hopeful grin,
And mailed their genes to fly.
They dreamed of kings and castles grand,
A noble, royal line,
But the story told by their DNA
Was anything but divine.
A Viking? A Celt? A samurai bold?
Nope—just a farmer’s son,
Who tilled the dirt and fed the sheep,
'Neath a cloud-blocked Irish sun.
Then, lo! A cousin comes into view,
A match so strong, it gleams!
But all they want is your family tree,
For their migration schemes.
Oh, whispers rise of scandals deep,
Of bastards, shame, and lies,
The knight you swore to hold in pride
Was a smith in low disguise.
The triumphs sweet, the pitfalls wild,
As history’s veil you peel,
The maze of lives and names unfolds,
Your tangled truth revealed!
Refrain:
Oh, mighty Y, it leads the way,
The patriarch’s genetic sway,
But one mutation breaks the chain,
And leaves your dreams in vain.
And mitochondria sings its song,
Of mothers’ lines so long,
But Eve’s refrain is vague at best,
And haplogroups can’t rest.
Then autosomal joins the show,
Its threads in chaos grow,
A teaspoon here, a smidgeon there,
To weave your tale of woe.
So mix your genes and test your code,
A quest both high and low,
For though it mocks, the truth still calls,
To find what you don’t know!
Closing Verse:
Still onward march, you seekers brave,
Through records worn and frayed,
The magic’s not in what you find,
But in the hunt replayed.
So raise your vial, your spit, your dream,
Your tangled roots entwine,
For though it mocks, it lifts your soul,
To chase your unknown line!

Iain, all U-106 matters aside, I hope that your family "misfortunes" are not too serious or long-lasting.
Happy Holidays to you, your family and to everyone at U-106!

Project administrators did previously have the ability to change the EKA information for their project members. If I recall correctly, this ability was removed when all the GDPR changes were brought in. Unfortunately I can't see FTDNA reverting to the old system. ? Debbie ?

Subject: Re: [R1b-U106] Is your EKA information accurate?? After reading? the many comments to my post, I am inclined to agree with Brian that project administrators should be able to interpret a matching group's Y-DNA results and assign the common ancestor 's location. I can do this with my own results since I administer the Fox Project. I am 100% sure of the Wiltshire location and 95% sure he was Henrie Fox born about 1550 in Devizes, Wiltshire. There are other Foxes matching me with a much earlier ancestor but I don't yet know the location except that it was in England.? This is what project administrators are doing all the time with their matching groups but we don't interfere with an individual's own EKA assignment.? I think that Iain should be interested in these group location assignments but don't see how to convey the information properly.
