Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Favorite Learning Experience This Past Month

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:


1)  What was your favorite genealogy learning experience this past month?  In-person program? Online webinar? YouTube video? Blog post?  Social media item?  Family history story?

2)  Share your favorite genealogy learning experience in your own blog post or in a Facebook, SubStack or BlueSky post.  Leave a link on this blog post to  help us find your post.

Here's mine:

I don't always watch every webinar on Family Tree Webinars or every video on YouTube, so I occasionally go back to find ones I missed when they were first offered.

One YouTube video that I watched recently was on the BYU Library Family History Center channel by James Tanner - Using Google Translate, Gemini, and Google Lens for Genealogical Research-James Tanner (21 May 2025).  This focused on genealogical research and how the Google AI tools can be used to help the researcher.  

I don't use Google Translate much, but the capabilities are fantastic.  I use Google Gemini for my AI writing and question work, but it can also transcribe and translate  text.  I haven't used Google Lens at all to date, but it looks interesting.   There is always one more tool to check out.

Another YouTube video I recently watched is I Didn't Know You Could Search Like That! by Debbie Gurtler on the FamilySearch YouTube channel.
