One of the best and accurate sessions I've seen on the topic. Information literacy has long been a passion of mine, and this hits on exactly what is needed in that skill. xoxo US-Kentucky
Thank you so much. I am researching for a paper I'm writing on women scientists (professional and amateur) in from 1700 through currently and I used a number of your suggestions in my initial ChatGPT sort of orientation to the world around these women and their challenges. The results from asking the AI to be a historian, then a sociologist, and zoom in on different types of countries and factors that would hold women back. I would never have gotten so much background information that will help do my literature review with those prompt suggestion! At some point I'll use them for my family history but the current project was on my mind while I was watching your webinar. Thank you thank you thank you!
One thing I found ChatGPT useful is suggesting the identities of people in early censuses (where only the head of the household is named but the age ranges of other family members are given) by giving it later census records where the names are present. You do have to tell it that some people might not be family members, or may have died before later censuses, etc., but it does a reasonable job for further investigation.
Great ideas! Is there a written thumbnail summary, too? I used your suggestion about interpreting text and got a deadly accurate portrayal of my paternal grandfather after feeding the chatbot three letters to the editor with my grandfather's additional commentary on the copies of those letters he forwarded to his son.
Hi Toni. Thanks for your feedback. Most of our community is on Facebook however, you'll find lots of the same help and advice that's shared in our Facebook group over on our blog and in our help centre, both of which can be accessed freely. We hope this helps 🙂 www.findmypast.co.uk/blog/help www.findmypast.co.uk/help

I'd really like to read the facebook group but I don't want a facebook account. Have you thought about having it be public?
