Another Genealogy Poem and Song From Artificial intelligence - Family Roots"

 I wrote about "The Tale of Devier Smith" in AI-Created Rhyme and Song more than three weeks ago, with a poem created by ChatGPT-4o about my 2nd great-grandfather's life, and a song created on Suno.com with about the same prompt.  

Today, I had Suno create another song and had ChatGPT-4o create a poem with almost the same prompt (Suno.com has a 200 character limit, so I added some terms to the poem):

"write a poem about genealogy, mentioning family photos, grandma's letters, birth and death certificates, marriage records, census records, wills, land deeds, military service, immigration, farming, working hard, Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, FamilySearch, family trees, DNA matches, books."

Here is the poem (created by ChatGPT-4o for the prompt above):

"In faded photos and grandma's cherished letters,
Lie tales of yesteryears, woven in timeless fetters. 
Birth and death certificates, life's start and end, 
Marriage records, where love's vows blend.

"Census records whisper of homes long past, 
Wills and land deeds, legacies that last. 
Military service, bravery's silent song, 
Immigration journeys, paths winding long.

"Farming fields and labor's relentless grind, 
In every toil and triumph, stories we find. 
Ancestry.com and MyHeritage gleam, 
FamilySearch unearths each hidden dream.

"Family trees branching, reaching wide, 
DNA matches, kinships tied. 
In books, the chronicles of lives unfold, 
A tapestry of history, a treasure to behold.

"In the heart of genealogy, we trace, 
The footprints of ancestors, a sacred place. 
Through records and relics, our roots we see, 
A journey through time, our legacy.

And here are the song and the lyrics (created by Suno for a similar prompt):


 "Family Roots"

"Family photos in my hands

Grandma's letters tied with strands
Birth and death certificates
Ancestors I can't forget

"Census pages worn and old
Stories that are yet untold
On Ancestry dot com I search
Finding family with each word

"We trace the lines in family trees
DNA matches set us free
From MyHeritage to FamilySearch
Our past is where we start the search

"Wills that guide us through the years
Laughter shared and hidden tears
Every name a star that shines
In the galaxy of time

"Each discovery a piece
Of history that never sleeps
In the branches of our past
We find the love that always lasts

"We trace the lines in family trees
DNA matches set us free
From MyHeritage to FamilySearch
Our past is where we start the search."
I have several other songs on Suno.com - click here to see my "tracks."

What do you think about these efforts?  Are they worthwhile?  My hope is that they will be passed down to my grandchildren and their descendants to highlight the importance of sharing stories, memories and love.  I will add them to my Google Drive and to my YouTube channel and my FOREVER account.

Even though I haven't delved much into AI created content, I'm enjoying those that you've shared. Catching tunes about ancestors might be a good way to interest younger kids in family history.
