@MattPrusak Yo @FamilySearch I’d love a tool like this baked in!

Your grandparents had grandparents. They had grandparents. Somewhere back there, someone got on a boat, or didn't. Someone changed their name, or had it changed for them. Someone is buried in a cemetery you've never heard of in a country you've never been to. Most families lose track after two generations. I used AI to push mine back nine. One session with @karpathy's autoresearch pattern: over 100 organized research files. It found a 1940 Norwegian emigrant history with my ancestors in it. Resolved a maiden name question that confused my family for 70 years. Identified relatives no one alive knew existed. The method is simple: set a goal, measure progress, verify against real records, repeat. The AI searches public archives, cross-references birth certificates against cemetery records against church books, and logs everything it finds (and everything it doesn't). Open sourced the whole toolkit. Prompts that do the research for you, archive guides for 20+ countries, starter templates, even a framework for making sense of DNA results. If you have a box of old photos and unanswered questions, this is where to start. github.com/mattprusak/aut…

@darbybailey Family Tree is a collaborative tree. The best way to protect information is to include sources and notes to document the reasons why the information in your tree is correct, so others can consider your notes prior to making changes. FamilySearch is always looking for ways to improve the quality and integrity of the information in Family Tree while maintaining its collaborative nature.

@Darbybailey @FamilySearch I think you need to check the dates....

St. Patrick had a wife and two children!?! ☘️ 🇮🇪 How did I not know this until today. Thank you @FamilySearch (And also thank you bc St. Patrick's Mum and Dad are my 34th great grandparents)

What if you were more connected to your friends than you thought? Use the link in the first comment to type in your last names and see where your stories overlap. You might find connections you never expected! #lastnames #surnames #familyhistory

@BOCswu We are so sorry to hear about your frustration! We understand it can be difficult to navigate a shared tree at times! We hope this article can be beneficial. familysearch.org/en/help/helpce…

@FamilySearch When that happens. I never trust that tree line again. The list of "celebrities" I'm supposed to be related to is laughable. It is to easily linkable with zero sources or unreliable source links.

What if your family tree connects you to a trailblazer, a member of royalty, or a pop culture icon? Visit the link in the reply to uncover the famous names hiding in your family history. #famousrelatives #familyhistory #FamilySearch

@jwheel0129 Hi Jackson! We're sorry to hear of your frustrations. We would love to help you out. You can sign up for a free online research consultation here: familysearch.org/en/library/onl… Thank you for using FamilySearch!

I have NEVER been so frustrated on working on FamilySearch. For the family that I’m working on, there are record hints for this person. But it said that the record had already been “attached” to somebody else that is also on my family tree, with the same name

Want to strengthen your emotional resilience? Figure out who you are and where you’re from! Be a detective! Learn about your #familyhistory. Your DNA is so strong your bloodlines have made it to 2026! Clearly your ancestors had grit! Tap into them! Delve into where you’re from! Learn about your culture! Find out what made your ancestors strong and refusing to give up! It’s what’s helped me and NYT research shows it can help you, too! My cousin and his wife have taught youth in Alabama’s public libraries and schools teaching how to dig into a family’s roots, learn what made their ancestors overcome terrible circumstances, to pass that strength on to that make them who their descendants are today. The stories they have about these youth choosing to draw strength from their ancestors is absolutely exciting and gives me hope for the future. He and his wife loved this work so much they extended their 18 month mission 10.5 YEARS! Now they’re returning home to Idaho and enjoy their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Here’s one of his recent @FamilySearch library presentations (21 minutes). #roots #emotionalresilience #LDx #ServiceMissionary u.pcloud.link/publink/show?c…

@ckanal So glad you could make it! See you next year!

#RootsTech was awesome, thank you Salt Lake City @RootsTechConf @FamilySearch it was great to meet distant cousins & learn new tricks with AI. #genealogy
