Examples will illustrate this and give you ideas to use it. The notes have the links, so if you use them online, you can just click and go to the AI website. The AI websites we will discuss are Microsoft's Copilot, Googles' Bard, Open AI's ChatGPT, and Summarize.tech, a website that will give you a text summary of close-captioned YouTube videos. The notes and other related information, all with active internet links, will be on the handout and posted on <a href="https://uvtagg.org/classes/dons/dons-classes.html" rev="en_rl_none">https://uvtagg.org/classes/dons/dons-classes.html</a> . </div><div><br /></div><div>All meetings of the Group are open to the public and have the goal of helping people use technology to further their family and personal history.

He is a frequent presenter at national, regional, and local conferences. He was a director of the National Genealogical Society from 2012 to 2018. Robert is a genealogist and technologist with over 40 years of experience in technology and genealogy. He holds over a dozen patents (inventions, not land ;-) ) and earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from Brigham Young University where he was honored as a Kimball Scholar. He was a member of the Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honor Society, and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society.</b></span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>ABOUT THE MAIN PRESENTATION 10:00-10:30 am MDT: </b></div><div><b>FAMILYSEARCH FAMILY TREE FOR INFLUENCERS</b></div><div><span style="color: #222222;"><b>FamilySearch Family Tree is an important undertaking. You are building something bigger than yourself. While genealogists within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regularly use FamilySearch Family Tree, non-genealogists in the Church and genealogists outside the Church do not. As an influencer, you might wish you could convince more knowledgeable genealogists to use the Tree more often (and less knowledgeable genealogists to use it less)! Influencers need a new mindset. See contributions by other influential genealogists and learn how they dissuade unwanted changes. Learn some focus areas for your time and how to apply genealogical standards.</b></span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>ABOUT THE CLASS:</b></div><div><span style="color: #222222;"><b>FAMILYSEARCH RECORD SEARCH TIPS AND TRICKS</b></span></div><div><b> <span style="color: #222222;">This presentation covers searching historical record collections.

STRAUSS, AG::</div><div>INFLUENZA: THE TWENTIETH CENTURY'S DEADLIEST PANDEMIC</div><div>In 1918, with the war raging in Europe, a silent deadly killer traveled with the soldiers from the United States over to the war zones in France. Considered America’s deadliest epidemic, it killed more people here than the soldiers that lost their lives fighting. As quickly as the virus spread it disappeared by early 1919. Many genealogical and historical records document our ancestors who died or survived this terrible period of our history.</div><div><br /></div><div>MICHAEL L. STRAUSS, AG, is a nationally recognized genealogical researcher and speaker. He is a native of Pennsylvania and a resident of Utah and works as a Research Manager with Ancestry. Michael has a BA in History and is planning on getting additional degrees. He is a United States Coast Guard veteran, a licensed Private Investigator, and is certified to testify as an expert witness in courts in many U.S. states. He is also a faculty member of SLIG, GRIP, and IGHR, genealogy course programs across the U.S., where he is the coordinator for the military history courses taught. </div><div><br /></div><div>ABOUT THE CLASS AND CAROL HILL:</div><div>CAN YOU SEE MY TREE? IMPORTS ON FAMILYSEARCH</div><div><span style="color: #222222;">Did you know that you can upload GEDCOM files to FamilySearch? Carol will be showing how you upload your file to the Pedigree Resource File, how others can view the uploaded tree, and how you can add information to FamilySearch the correct way.</span></div><div><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #222222;"><span data-markholder="true"></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #222222;">CAROL HILL received her bachelor's degree in Family History from BYU in 2003, and has been helping others with their family history since then. She is currently serving a FamilySearch support mission and serving as a YSA stake family history consultant. She creates Family History YouTube videos to help others understand different features of FamilySearch, and other genealogy sites as well. She loves her 6 children, 31 grandchildren, and wonderful husband.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>All meetings of the Group are open to the public with the goal of helping people use technology to further their family and personal history.

She will be presenting activities, videos, games, etc, that have helped youth enjoy family history.</div><div><br /></div><div>ABOUT THE CLASS by SCOTT HILL</div><div>Family History Escape is a virtual escape room, but rather than working to escape from a room, you are working to help deceased individuals escape from Spirit Prison by discovering their Family History. Each episode tells the story of an actual deceased individual and systematically leads you on a journey to find historical records to learn more about their life. Each episode is designed as a fun way to help you learn about different aspects of Family History, i.e. different types of Family History records. The app can be used if you are just learning Family History or are more experienced with Family History. </div><div> </div><div>ABOUT MARIE ALEXANDER: </div><div>Marie Alexander was shown the love of family history by her parents and grandparents since she was a child. This love has continued throughout her life. She and her husband, Denton, have eight children, twenty-six grandchildren, and one great grand-daughter. With her husband, she has served at the Lindon Shared Stakes FamilySearch Center for over seventeen years. She has served for four years as a FamilySearch Support Missionary.</div><div><br /></div><div>ABOUT SCOTT HILL:</div><div>Scott Hill is a retired Chemical Engineer. He enjoys doing family history and especially loves the programming side of it. His "This is Family" app is on the Solutions Gallery on FamilySearch. This app is great for helping young children learn about their ancestors by creating an avatar for each of them. You can also find his "Temples In Color" app on the IOS App store. He has 6 children and 31 grandkids.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more details about the UVTAGG meetings see <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/2148446411642377769/6013220466724466157#" rev="en_rl_none">https://uvtagg.org</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/2148446411642377769/6013220466724466157#" rev="en_rl_none">blog.uvtagg.org/</a>.

Her particular interest is Eastern European history and research, which initially started because of the crazy family surnames on her paternal lines. However, she loves dabbling in all areas of the world AND helping other people do the same. Rayanne also loves to travel. She is definitely a history nerd and loves to learn what makes other countries tick (probably a product of her degree in psychology and love of people in general)! Rayanne is working her way through an Eastern Europe certificate program just for the fun of it and loving every moment. She is currently a volunteer in the BYU Family History Library, the Utah Valley Technology and Genealogy Group (UVTAGG), and is the registrar for the Foundation for East European Family History Studies (FEEFHS) organization. Last, but not least, Rayanne has the best job in the world...teaching eight little people (grandkids) to recognize and love their ancestors.</h2><h2><br /></h2><h2>For more details about the UVTAGG meetings see <a href="https://uvtagg.org" rev="en_rl_none">https://uvtagg.org</a> and <a href="http://blog.uvtagg.org/" rev="en_rl_none">blog.uvtagg.org/</a>.

"The important thing is to add names to the tree as quickly as possible." "Someone else will clean it up." This advice may be well-intended, but the truth is that cutting corners now almost always costs more in the long run. This presentation gives two examples of mistakes in Family Tree that were easy to make but hard to clean up. It also gives principles to help stop these kinds of mistakes before they're made. It takes a little more effort to be careful up front, but it saves time in the long run.</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>ABOUT KATHRYN GRANT:</b></div><div><b>After years on the sidelines, Kathryn began doing family history and discovered that she loved it.

Jim Allen was given the task and was able to obtain the help of Jessie Embry. Together they did research in the documents and conducted many. interviews. Later, after it was decided to make this a centennial history of the Genealogical Society of Utah (i.e., the Genealogical Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), Jim and Jessie asked Kahlile Mehr to join them because of his first-hand knowledge of the latest developments. The discussion today will deal with some of their research experiences, including interesting interviews, selected highlights from the book, and a note on how it finally got published. Jessie Embry will be online with Jim to add her comments, as well.

If we lose track of that name, we lose track of our ancestral family and research grinds to a halt. This presentation will examine the most likely sources of name variations and teach you to be on the alert for them. Some changes are a matter of literacy, communication issues such as accents, translation, transcription errors and so much more.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #222222;">DESCRIPTION OF CLASS:</span></div><div><span style="color: #222222;">Online surname distribution maps are now available as a tool to help locate the place of origin for a surname. Some map systems allow comparison of where 2 or more names occur helping you to see where ancestral families came together. Many types of maps are available for a number of countries of the world.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #222222;">ABOUT LAURIE CASTILLO:</span></div><div>Laurie Werner Castillo is the 1st Vice President of UVTAGG and is a professional genealogist who has done historical background research for books and family research for private clients.
