January 2026 Podcast

In the January episode of the “This month at the IGSI” podcast (episode 7 of season 4), genealogist Dave Miller talks about the January webinar that will be hosted by Mark Thompson. Our first Irish Saturday in 2026 will be on January 10.  

Mark Thompson's topic is "What's New & Notable in AI for Family History Research." This will be an online-only presentation on January 17; it will begin at a special time of 10:00 am and last until noon Central Time. The fee to watch this webinar is $15 for members and $20 for non-members.

What if you had a research assistant who could find, analyze, and summarize dozens of complex source documents in minutes for you? Today's artificial intelligence (AI) tools make this possible. In this session you'll see real-world cases where the newest crop of AI tools can reliably support your genealogy research, without the debris we sometimes encountered just a year ago: hallucinations, mysterious citations, etc. Again, this webinar will be held on January 17.

These stories along with the entire episode and previous podcast episodes are available on the IGSI YouTube channel.
