ChatGPT for genealogy research? Maybe, but beware of this very weird thing happening! #genealogy

I love technology and I'm always up for trying new things. Last month, I used ChatGPT - a site I have used many times since its launch - in an attempt to do some creative genealogy research. The results are nothing short of a bad trip by Alice into Wonderland. Seriously! Crazy stuff! There are certainly lots of fun and useful ways to use ChatGPT for genealogy and family tree research, but you n...

You helped my kids learn some History
Valuable information. Thank you so much! Also, $10 in 1826 is $3,184.86 today. 😄
Recently discovered on another site that there is a house in Beaufort, NC, ‘the Noé house’ that was built my ancestors in the early 1700’s and its still being lived in. They were French Huegonaughts that came over in the 1660’s and came south from New Jersey. Also have my Morris family that goes back to Robert Morris, a signer of the Decl. of Independence.
please help me find more about an Octavia Balance/Langley mother&daughter have same name Kenly/(Beulah?) NC.. I think the Langley ancestor is on the Daws Rolls as Choctaw this name is in both sets of maternal grandparents lineage.. also.. Boyette Plantation in the same area Port(er) Perrin?Perry Wall(s) Wilson NC
Yes Wilson county and Robeson county NC
I'm so happy to see you using the Full Text Search on Family Search. They are adding new record collections all the time. I was able to find out that my 2x great grandfather had a brother William. We had always heard that he did but no documentation had been found up until I found a deed in which he deeded some land to his "brother William". It was an exciting moment for sure!
Grew up outside of Raleigh in Wake Co.,our family beach cottage was in Emerald Isle, and I attended ECU as most of my family did before me. Great to hear this information on this platform. Can’t wait to dig into more! Thank you!
Circumcision was practiced by different indigenous people through out the Americas. The Aztec elite is an example. This does not mean it was learned from Jews or they were “Jewish Indians” as you imply here.
I am a descendant of crooked ol Governor Eaton. 🙋
😂
You looking at a Hatteras Island American Indian it's 2024 time to wake up American Indians were not white or Asian they look like me and the so-called African-Americans
I’m American Indian and no one in my family looks African American. Get outta here with that B.S. Some of you will do and say anything to deny your African roots and ancestors. Shame on you.
My grandmother is the chief of the Hatteras Island Algonquin Indians when you say they were mixed there was not mixed The Lost Colony got killed off because they was invading the land and I wasn't supposed to be there
Seriously doubt that.
There were Hebrew we didn't want to show the white man what we were doing
I’m glad I stumbled across this video. I grew up in eastern NC and later lived on Roanoke Island for a couple of years. The history of the area always fascinated me. I ran across Kevin’s book on Blackbeard years ago and agree with his assertion. I left NC almost 15 years ago, but still like reading history. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!
I can't believe the timing of this video as I've started collecting deeds for my family in Beaufort County. I've always heard that it wasn't possible if all you knew was just metes and bounds. I think that my GG Grandfather was buried on his land between Durham Creek and South Creek where there is now a Phosphate mine. Do we know what would have happened to the body if they had come across human remains? Anyway, I'm very interested in this process and am looking forward to attempting it. I've long wondered about the whereabouts of the properties that my ancestors lived on. Thank you!
It is difficult, not impossible. We all need a starting point, luckily most of Beaufort County's deeds are available online on FamilySearch. I've been able to start anywhere I pick with enough brute force of mapping the metes and bounds. It may take 10 or 15 land records, but eventually pieces will look like they fit together. It helps when the land bounds a water branch or creek you can identify. The mine has moved several cemeteries over the past few years. Whenever they buy out a plateau of land between two creeks. I'm sure some were missed in the identifying and moving of graves, but that is the circumstance. I'm not sure what the policy was when the mine started decades ago. We can either assume the best or the worst. What may help you in this case since the landscape has significantly changed is to look at the NC State Archives Flickr page that has the earliest aerial images of most of the counties from about 1940. This will allow you to see tree and fields, residences that no longer exist, which will help you in mapping as you may see a boundary or two that matches what you map out from a deed. Beaufort's aerials were done in 1938: www.flickr.com/photos/north-carolina-state-archives/albums/72157680104684838/
I'm glad this video comes at a good time for you!
@@edwinaverette459 That is excellent information, thank you so much sir!!
Amazing history!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I heard a lot of white indentured servants from Ireland and Scotland in early 1800 to N Carolina. They were caught by pirates or the British and sent here.Did these indentured servant live with the black slaves at first?
Thank you so much for the information. I'm excited to explore the website. I took a quick look and found my family's name, Dew, on the Moseley Map!
Learned more about my 7th great-grandfather John Lawson and so much more! Sara is a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You look white 😂😂
Troy are you a slave 😅😅😅😅
Please help me find my family 😢😢😢
Thanks you very much I still have a lot to learn, some of the people who settle in Samana was Vanderhorst, King , Shepherd, Wilmore or Gilmore , Green all this surname
In 1824 a group of maybe 300 people settled in Samana Dominicans republic they said they came from Philadelphia but I believe it’s was from North Caroline I did a dna 🧬 test and also my father I see a lot of relative from this place she mention
The image of the war scene was tampered with. The original images have afros and folks of color. Why do folks do that?
Thanks for this . That slave ship diagram was just propaganda used by abolitionists. Millions of Africans were not brought here . Most of the slave population was prisoners of war from south eastern tribes . Huge cover up in the curriculum and reclassification of tribes took place .
Snowflake warning !
haha!
We aren't lost. I'm right here. My people are right here in North Carolina USA. Western North Carolina mountains
I recently read that ChatGPT is NOT a search engine. It is not designed to look up facts related to an ancestor. It is very good in compiling facts that are already know. For example. I might prompt "Describe what Des Moines, Iowa was like in 1845." I can get a better picture of the environment my ancestor might have lived. Even then, check, check, check.
And the descendants of bar Kohkba’s people are still among the Yuchi in Oklahoma..
Same wild grapes up here in Ithaca, NY
Seems like the two were twin cities at one time…
How did he write his book f he was killed ?
The book was published in 1709. He wasn't killed until 1711.
I am glad I found you. My ancestor was Joseph Pledger from Wales England so happy
This is one of the best historical videos of North Carolina, I have ever watch
That's very kind! Thank you so much!
I do not trust ChatGPT, probably never will. Having said that, I have heard that if you stick with a convo for a while the algorithm gets screwy. Try logging in, ask one specific question, then log out. Repeat and rinse. See if the accuracy is any better that way. I'd like to see that update. I am truly curious. You get a gold star for original subject material.
The paid version of ChatGPT is superior to the free version in every way. The main thing is to make sure you're in GPT 4 and not GPT 3.5. Also, it's true if you keep a conversation going for too long with new information, it does start to go a bit haywire. I think it's because it doesn't have any capability to visit other conversations with you so it's only dealing with that one conversation at once. If you start asking it tons of new questions, especially about things it doesn't know, it would get to a point where it just starts making things up. I haven't noticed this happening much in the last couple of months, but then again, maybe it's because I've continued to learn how to use it most effectively rather than trying to pull information from it that its unlikely to know.
Hi! Just found your channel! I love your content. Can you please create a playlist so I can listen to all of them without it going to another channel? I would greatly appreciate that! 💗
I'll be glad to do that. Here you go ua-cam.com/video/8ABsjQdBGHs/v-deo.html
Christopher Degraffenried is my 9th Great Grandfather..
Oh, that's very cool! I have ancestors who came to America with him on that 1710 voyage.
I am so glad to have found this video and site. I have a whole lot of family ties to Danis shire/island, Beaufort, etc. The journey of discovery begins.
I hope you enjoy your genealogical journey as much as I have! I'm sorry for the slow response on your comments, but I don't check the comments on all of my channels frequently enough.
As a descendant of the people enslaved on Davis island, it is an interesting perspective. Both sides of my family come from the Carolinas and Bristol TN/VA. These include native people, mixed people, etc. I know these people and have family stories. I will say that it is good that things are at least being discussed and researched.
I agree wholeheartedly! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for being intellectually and historically, honest! There are too many blind fools and idiots who refuse to understand that the way people used to think in historical terms has changed, and that standards now do not compare to then. One must look at history, objectively, and in the context of that day Applying modern standards and thought to something that happened in history is morally and intellectually bankrupt.
Agreed. Chronological snobbery, just as C.S. Lewis used to call it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Its not snobbery to acknowledge TRUE History. Its was cruel and violent in the eyes of those oppressed, so why should we sugar coat that so that we get to feel good about the “new world”. Its Turtle Island.
Thank you! This was so helpful and well presented!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
You are a great teacher. Thank You.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Fascinating! Thanks for all the time and work that went into this. For as much as it claims to search everything, it obviously does not yet do that. It probably will sometime soon, or it will begin to disclose its breadth or limits, but for genealogy, it is limited by available digital sources. This is great to know. Thanks again and all best wishes for your continuing searches.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I look forward to AI becoming more useful to genealogists in the future, but I hope it won't be a case where unseasoned genealogist start taking as gospel anything AI says just like they sometimes do with trees they see online.
Wonderful content ! .... I am trying to find the children of Samuel Wiggins b. 1777 ? from Craven County.
I have recently followed the East Carolina Roots web resources and I am understanding that I am a direct descendent of Captain James Blount. How would I go about verifying ?
Thanks for the shout out.
I have people from Western and Eastern N.C. And these roots go back to migrations down from Massachusetts Bay colony and Jamestown. Incredible
I'm part Sumner also.
My 15X great grandfather came from England in 1634. He sailed into Massachusetts and remained there for a couple of generations until his grandson migrated down to eastern North Carolina. We have been Tarheels ever since.
Thru-lines should generally not be used to replace actual research. The proper value of Thru-lines is testing hypothetical DNA connections. You can easily spot illegitimacies.
Yep, I talk about ways to spot bad information in Thru-lines in this video. :)
Lance is spot on.
If you never tested your parent before they passed and there's no other older relatives hen you need to test at least 2 of your own siblings to hopefully catch most of your parent's DNA.
This is great advice for people who have two full siblings and whose parents are both deceased. People shouldn't despair, though, and just think DNA testing won't work for them just because they don't have living parents or two full siblings, though. There is still a ton of valuable insight to be found in even a DNA test for an individual person. Aunts and uncles or great aunts and uncles can also be a phenomenal resource. I'm fortunate enough to have both of my maternal grandparents tested, and on my dad's side of the family, a great aunt. I also have one of my maternal great-grandmother's sisters who has tested. Lots of creative ways to get the DNA info we need!
I've found a new Mayflower Decedent Badge pop up on my Family TreeDNA account recently from me Big - Y700 investment (on my father's side).
I'm sure that was exciting to see! Congratulations! 😃
