Presentation: Preserving the Past with Tomorrow’s Tools
presented by Bill Wheeler
Curious about how artificial intelligence can help family historians? This presentation will introduce key AI terms in plain language, highlight today’s most popular AI tools and labs, and explore how they can be applied to genealogy research. Together, we’ll discover what’s possible when modern technology lends a hand in uncovering and preserving our family stories.
Bill Wheeler started in genealogy in 1999 when he found his father’s research. Bill’s father was pursuing membership in the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) but died before he could complete the application. Bill completed his father’s Memorial SAR application which was later approved and several supplemental applications. Bill is currently the State President for the Illinois Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Bill is also a member of the Baronial Order of the Magna Carta.
