Ask AI: "Can You Create Song Lyrics and a Festive Graphic For the '12 Days of a Genealogist's Christmas?"

 Oh yes, AI can create almost anything you ask for!  I asked ChatGPT4 to do this with the prompt:  

Please create song lyrics for a "12 Days of a Genealogists Christmas" song like the classic "12 Days of Christmas" that mention records like census, land, probate, birth, marriage, death, baptism, burial, immigration, military, naturalization, obituaries, etc.

First, the "festive graphic" that ChatGPT4 offered to create without me asking (OK, I know the spelling isn't correct- but it's beautiful and it's the thought that counts!):

Here are the ChatGPT4 song lyrics:

I added the song lyrics above into Suno.com to create an upbeat song about the 12 Days of a Genealogist's Christmas - here is the song:


Well - that was fun!!!  

What other genealogy related songs can we create?  I'm partial to "O Little Town of Hilperton" and maybe "O Come All Ye Genies."  Perhaps "Genealogy Bells" or "Randy the Red-nosed Genealogist."

Fun! I would have said "Census from 1903" for rhyming reasons but 1900 works well. TY for sharing.
