Local genealogists to discuss AI-powered full text search during April 2 meeting in Lynnwood

The Sno-Isle Genealogical Society is hosting a program on April 2 in Lynnwood, focusing on the transformative potential of full text search for accessing family history records. As FamilySearch. org continues to grow its collection of records, traditional cataloging struggles to keep up, making this technology increasingly relevant. The Allreds, both knowledgeable genealogists, will lead the presentation, offering practical demonstrations and sharing valuable tips on maximizing the use of full text search. Attendees can expect insights into how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of genealogy research.

The event begins at 6:30 p. m. at the Wickers Building in Heritage Park, with an online option available at 7 p. m. Keith Allred's extensive background in law and history complements Janice Allred's academic credentials, ensuring a session rich in expertise.

Their combined experience positions them as authoritative figures in the field, making this event particularly beneficial for family historians. This program is an excellent opportunity to learn about innovative tools that can enhance genealogical research.
