What if you could get more out of every genealogical record you use? In this presentation, you’ll see how AI can help you ask better questions of your documents. Spot overlooked details, uncover historical context, and generate research leads you may have missed. With just five simple questions, AI becomes a tool to deepen your analysis and turn “just a record” into a story.

Our speaker, Cheri Hudson Passey, is a professional genealogist, instructor, writer, and speaker, and the owner of Carolina Girl Genealogy, LLC. She hosts the YouTube genealogy chat show GenFriends and works as a genealogical researcher subcontracted by Eagle Investigative Services, Inc. for the U.S. Army Past Conflict Repatriations Branch.

Cheri is actively involved in a wide range of genealogy societies and organizations and currently serves on the board of the National Genealogical Society. Her work emphasizes sound research methodology, context-driven analysis, and making genealogy approachable and meaningful for researchers at every level. She writes the blog Carolina Girl Genealogy, where she shares practical research tips, proven methodologies, family stories, and her own research adventures. Cheri is also the author of Genealogy in Reverse: Finding the Living, A Practical Guide for All Genealogists.
