Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Which Blog Article Helped, Touched and/or Impressed You?

 Calling All Genea-Musings Fans:

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Hey boys and girls, it's time for more genealogy fun.

Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  Review the last three or four "Best of the Genea-Blogs" posts (see   https://www.geneamusings.com/search/label/BestofGeneaBlogs). 

2)  Pick one of the articles listed that either helped you with your research or your writing, and/or that touched your emotions, and/or you are really impressed by.

3)  Tell us which article you picked (and link to it), and why you chose that article, and how it helped, touched or impressed you.

4)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post of mine, or in a comment on Twitter or Facebook in response to this post.

Here's mine:

A)  I was impressed by Thomas MacEntee's article Blackstone’s Plans for Ancestry.com: What Could It Mean for Genealogists? on Genealogy Bargains.  Thomas reviews the news information, provides some Ancestry.com history, analyzes why this may happen now, how will it affect Ancestry users, reviws lessons from other company histories, and offers key takeaways for genealogists.  He did use Artificial Intelligence to frame the article but he assured the reader that the story was shaped by himself.

B)  I was touched by Jenny Mackay's story Twenty Years of Silence on Jenny’s Scrapbook of Family History Stories.  Yeah, it used AI, but she had to feed the information to the AI in order to get the story about Deborah Crawford's life, and have the AI make sense of the documents.

C)  I was helped by Carole McCulloch's post  The AI Genealogy Revolution: Streamlining Ancestor Profile Creation with Comet & Perplexity on Coach Carole Online. I had not tried the Comet browser on Perplexity, or the AI Assistant that is featured there, to make biographies of my wife's ancestors from an Ancestry, MyHeritage or FamilySearch profile page, and now I am using it occasionally.  

Is it strange that the three articles I chose include an artificial intelligence flavor?
