Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of genealogy, and one of the newest examples is MyHeritage's Scribe AI. This tool is designed to help researchers work through old family history items that can be difficult to read, difficult to understand, or difficult to use well. For anyone who has stared at a faded letter, a handwritten church record, a worn gravestone, or an old family photo with little identification, that gets your attention quickly. Genealogy has always required patience. It takes time to search for records, compare evidence, study names, sort out dates, and decide whether two people with the same name are really the same person. It also takes time just to read what is already in front of you. That is one reason this tool stands out. It is aimed at one of the most frustrating parts of family history research, getting useful information out of old material that is hard to read or hard to interpret. MyHeritage says Scribe AI can transcribe, translate, and interpret historical materials. That means it is not only trying to turn old text into readable words. It is also trying to explain what a document or image may contain, point out clues, and help a researcher see what deserves a closer look. That places it in a different category from a basic scanning tool or plain text recognition program. For genealogists, that raises an important question. What can this actually do for real family history research? Not just in a product announcement and not only in a polished demonstration, but in the everyday work of studying old records, sorting through inherited papers, and trying to find one clue that moves the research forward. That is where Scribe AI becomes especially interesting...

Let us know what you think!Episode OverviewHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, with a focus on clear reasoning, historical context, and practical research methods. In this episode, Kathleen and John Brandt sit down with guest Chelsea Clarke from the Midwest Genealogy Center to explore how a free, do-it-yourself Memory Lab helps families preserve and digitize their personal archives.From VHS tapes and cassette recordings to slides, photographs, film reels, and even floppy disks, Chelsea explains how the Memory Lab allows patrons to convert aging media into digital files. The conversation covers real-time capture, planning digitization sessions, storage decisions, and how these tools help communities preserve family stories before fragile media is lost.In This Episode, You'll Learn• What the Memory Lab is and how to reserve time to use it • What formats can be digitized, including video, audio, photos, slides, and negatives • Why many formats require real-time capture and how to plan multi-slot sessions • How to think about file sizes, storage options, and potential cloud limitations • What quality expectations to have when working with aging media • How library staff help patrons inspect, prepare, and capture their materialsTopics Covered• Digitizing VHS tapes, film reels, cassettes, photos, slides, and negatives • Batch scanning photographs and converting legacy media formats • Transferring data from 3.5-inch floppy disks • Overhead scanning tools and storytelling features such as VividPix narration • File management, storage choices, and digital preservation considerations • Access, equity, and the community value of public digitization resources • A local project highlight involving tracing ancestors and birth recordsEpisode Discussion & Key MomentsChelsea explains how the Memory Lab at the Midwest Genealogy Center gives community members access to professional-grade digitization equipment without the cost of private services. Patrons can bring their own tapes, photos, slides, negatives, and disks and convert them to digital formats using specialized equipment while receiving guidance from knowledgeable staff.The conversation also highlights the realities of digitization: many analog formats must be captured in real time, file sizes can grow quickly, and planning storage ahead of a session is essential. Kathleen and John explore how these tools support not only preservation but storytelling—helping families transform fragile recordings and images into lasting digital archives.Key questions examined include:• What should researchers bring to a Memory Lab appointment? • How can families plan ahead when digitizing large collections? • What risks do aging tapes, slides, and disks pose if not preserved soon?Why This Episode MattersCountless family histories remain trapped on fragile analog media that deteriorates over time. This episode highlights how accessible community tools—like library Memory Labs—make it possible for anyone to preserve recordings, photographs, and documents before they disappear.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is hosted by Kathleen and John Brandt and helps listenerBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

March is a month of change. Winter begins to loosen its grip, the days grow longer, and it starts to feel like it is time to get moving again. For genealogists, this makes March a great month to take on projects that may have been sitting quietly during the colder season. It is a good time to revisit outdoor research, organize your materials, and begin fresh work on family lines that need attention. Genealogy often follows the seasons. Some months are better for staying inside and digging through records, books, and databases. Other months are better for cemetery visits, local history trips, and reconnecting with people who may have information to share. March gives you a little of both. You can still enjoy productive research time indoors while also preparing for the busier spring months ahead. It is also a natural month for catching up. You may have a family history chapter you meant to write, a cemetery you wanted to visit, a historical society you have been meaning to explore, or a stack of records waiting to be organized. March is the right time to start. Here are 10 genealogy projects worth doing this month...

Most family historians spend a lot of time thinking about what they still have left to find. There is always another record to track down, another county to search, another family story to check, and another ancestor who refuses to come into focus. That is part of what keeps genealogy interesting. There is always one more question waiting. But in the middle of all that searching, many people miss something important. They miss how much they have learned. That is worth noticing. Genealogy is not only about collecting names, adding dates, and filling a chart. It is also about learning how to think like a researcher. It is about learning how to ask better questions, how to study records more carefully, and how to tell the difference between a clue and a conclusion. Those skills do not appear all at once. They grow over time, often so gradually that you do not realize how much stronger you have become. You may still have hard lines in your tree. You may still have problems that seem impossible. You may still stare at a record and wonder what you are supposed to do with it. None of that means you are not growing. In many cases, it means you are deeper into the work than you used to be. It means you have moved past the early excitement of grabbing every new name and have started learning what good genealogy really looks like. That shift is important...

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Genesis 37–41 and step into the story of Joseph, a story that moves from the pit, to the palace, to the prison, and reminds us that God is present in every season. What begins with favoritism, jealousy, and a coat of many colors quickly turns into betrayal and a seemingly empty pit. Yet over and over again, scripture repeats the same steady promise: the Lord was with Joseph. In slavery, in false accusation, in forgotten years in prison, God was still writing the story, preparing, positioning, and prospering him in ways Joseph could not yet see. This episode invites us to consider our own pits and prisons and ask where the Lord might already be at work. Because the promise was never that we would avoid hard seasons, but that He would be with us through them, redeeming the story in His time.

Friday Bible Study (2/20/26) // Ezra 8:1-20 (ESV) // *Genealogy of Those Who Returned with Ezra*// 8 These are the heads of their fathers' houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylonia, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king: 2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush. 3 Of the sons of Shecaniah, who was of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, with whom were registered 150 men. 4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him 200 men. 5 Of the sons of Zattu,[a] Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel, and with him 300 men. 6 Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him 50 men. 7 Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him 70 men. 8 Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him 80 men. 9 Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him 218 men. 10 Of the sons of Bani,[b] Shelomith the son of Josiphiah, and with him 160 men. 11 Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and with him 28 men. 12 Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men. 13 Of the sons of Adonikam, those who came later, their names being Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men. 14 Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.Ezra Sends for Levites15 I gathered them to the river that runs to Ahava, and there we camped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi. 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of insight, 17 and sent them to Iddo, the leading man at the place Casiphia, telling them what to say to Iddo and his brothers and[c] the temple servants at the place Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God. 18 And by the good hand of our God on us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah with his sons and kinsmen, 18; 19 also Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, with his kinsmen and their sons, 20; 20 besides 220 of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites.

Let us know what you think!Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, with a focus on clear reasoning, historical context, and practical research methods. In this episode, Kathleen and John Brandt are joined by guest Denise Cross to explore how a one-place study transforms scattered historical records into a working model of a town—and how that model can be used to solve difficult genealogy problems.Denise shares practical methods for defining research scope, mapping census visitation routes to historical land parcels, and linking neighbors, deeds, taxes, wills, church, and newspaper records to uncover relationships that traditional research approaches often miss.In This Episode, You'll Learn• How to define a one-place study and choose a manageable scope • How to build a full-town research spreadsheet using census, deeds, probate, church, tax, and newspaper records • How neighbors and associates can help identify missing women in the historical record • How to map census visitation order to historical parcel maps • How to research frontier communities using indirect evidence • How place-based research supports surname studies and resolves endogamy challengesTopics Covered• One-place studies as a genealogy research method • Linking community networks to uncover family relationships • Mapping households to land ownership and movement • Frontier research with limited records • Endogamy and surname studies through place context • Registering and sharing one-place studies on WikiTree and research directories • Resources, webinars, and collaboration strategiesEpisode Discussion & Key MomentsDenise explains how building a place-based research framework allows genealogists to move beyond individual ancestors and instead understand entire communities. By organizing census, tax, probate, land, and church records into a town-level model, researchers can identify patterns, relationships, and identity clues that would otherwise remain hidden.The conversation also highlights how mapping census routes to historical land parcels helps clarify neighbor relationships, track movement over time, and provide indirect evidence—especially in frontier eras or communities with thin documentation.Key questions examined include:• How can a one-place study help solve identity problems? • What role do neighbors and associates play in genealogical proof? • How do researchers work effectively in communities with limited documentation?Why This Episode MattersWhen records are incomplete or identities unclear, understanding the place can be just as important as understanding the person. This episode demonstrates how community-level research strengthens genealogical conclusions and supports evidence-based reasoning.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is hosted by Kathleen and John Brandt and helps listeners turn scattered historical records into meaningful family narratives using modern research tools and practical methodology.Subscribe & ConnectVisit https://hittinthebrickswithkathleen.buzzsprout.com for more episodes and resources.Do you have aBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

Someone asked me a hard question once, and I think a lot of people have asked it in their own minds, even if they never say it out loud. They said, "Is genealogy really worth doing? After you die, hardly anybody will remember you anyway. Your friends will be gone. Their friends will be gone. Your family might not even care. You can give your research to your kids, but what if they don't keep it? What if you donate it to a museum and they discard it, or the building burns down? Is this just a hobby to keep you busy, or is it a waste of time?" That question hits two fears at once. The first is that we will be forgotten. The second is that our work will disappear. Both fears are real because time does erase things. Papers get lost. Hard drives fail. Families scatter. Institutions change. Sometimes, the people who come after us do not value what we valued. So, is genealogy worth it?

In the woods of a small New Hampshire town, four bodies were hidden in two metal barrels and left to decay in silence. For decades, no one knew who they were, where they came from, or who had killed them. The only certainty was that they had been beaten to death and abandoned far from home.

In this episode, host Kathleen Brandt unpacks the growing buzz around the term “quantum genealogy,” explaining why it functions as a metaphor rather than a research method—and why real genealogical breakthroughs still depend on careful human analysis.The episode examines how DNA evidence, overlapping matches, and complex family structures can feel uncertain or contradictory, while clarifying where computing tools help—and where they do not decide conclusions.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhat people usually mean when they say “quantum” in a genealogy contextWhy quantum computing does not change biological inheritance or kinshipHow new evidence requires reanalysis and revised conclusionsWhere DNA tools assist research and where human judgment remains essentialWhy buzzwords can obscure, rather than clarify, good genealogical practiceTopics Covered“Quantum genealogy” as a metaphor for uncertainty and overlapThe limits of quantum computing in genealogical researchOverlapping DNA matches and shared ancestryComplexities in African American genealogy, including endogamyBlood quantum basics and its role in tribal enrollmentInterpretation, context, and evidence-based reasoningCommunity conversation at the Nelson-Atkins Museum (Kansas City)Episode Discussion & Key MomentsKathleen breaks down how the term “quantum genealogy” has entered popular conversation and why it can be misleading when treated as a method rather than a metaphor. She explains that while computing power can accelerate comparison and sorting of data, it does not alter the realities of inheritance, kinship, or historical context.The episode also addresses challenging areas of research, including African American genealogy, where overlapping DNA matches, endogamy, and incomplete records demand especially careful interpretation. Kathleen clarifies the role—and limits—of blood quantum, emphasizing why legal or enrollment definitions should not be confused with genealogical proof.Key questions examined include:Why does DNA evidence sometimes seem contradictory?How should researchers respond when new evidence changes earlier conclusions?What role should technology play versus human reasoning?Events & Community ConversationCommunity discussion at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas CityFree event; light refreshments servedWhy This Episode MattersAs genealogy tools grow more powerful, this episode reinforces a critical principle: technology assists research, but interpretation belongs to people. Clear thinking, context, and evidence—not buzzwords—remain the foundation of sound genealogical conclusions.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping listeners navigate complex evidence, historical nuance, and modern research tools with clarity and confidence.Subscribe & ConnectBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

What did you find out in your genealogy study

In this episode, Steve Wood opens the Gospel of Matthew by unpacking the genealogy of Jesus Christ, revealing it as the key to understanding Matthew's entire message. Matthew deliberately anchors Jesus in history as the Son of Abraham and the Son of David, proclaiming Him as the promised King of the world, not merely a spiritual figure. We explore how Matthew's genealogy highlights Jesus' royal lineage, fulfills God's covenant with David (2 Samuel 7), and frames the gospel as a royal announcement—the true euangelion—that God's everlasting King has come. From Matthew 1 to Matthew 28, the theme is clear: all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus Christ, and the nations are called to bow before Him. This episode accompanies Episode 505 of Luke21. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

Moses returns to the genealogy of the Promised Seed as he traces the generations from Shem to Terah. Although the ages are still impressive, the shortening years of the lives of men recalls sin's deadly effect. When the genealogy reaches Terah, Moses focuses on his family, which like Noah's before him, includes three sons. As the text focuses toward the son of Terah, Abram, who has a barren wife, we are reminded that God will accomplish His purpose according to His grace and mercy, not according to human wisdom.  Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 11:10-32.  To learn more about Concordia Theological Seminary, visit ctsfw.edu. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God's entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy's head.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

In eighteenth-century America, genealogy was more than a simple record of family ties—it was a powerful force that shaped society. Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America (Oxford UP, 2025) by Dr. Karin Wulf delves into an era where individuals, families, and institutions meticulously documented their connections. Whether driven by personal passion or mandated by churches, local governments, and courts, these records appeared in diverse forms-from handwritten notes and account books to intricate silk threads and enduring stone carvings.Family connections wielded significant influence across governmental, legal, religious, cultural, and social spheres. In the American context, these ties also defined the boundaries of slavery and freedom, with a child's status often determined by their mother, despite the prevailing patriarchy. This book reveals the profound importance of genealogy that was chronicled by family records, cultural artifacts, and court documents. These materials, created by both enslaved individuals seeking freedom and founding fathers seeking status, demonstrate the culturally and historically specific nature of genealogical interest.Even as the American Revolution transformed society, the significance of genealogy endured. The legacy of lineage from the colonial period continued to shape the early United States, underscoring the enduring importance of family connections. Lineage offers a deep understanding of genealogy as a foundational element of American history, illuminating its vital role from the colonial era through the birth of the nation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Have you ever felt completely unqualified for what God has asked you to do? Enoch felt the same way. He was "but a lad" and "slow of speech," yet he became the man who led an entire city to be translated. Discover how your weaknesses can become your greatest strengths. Summary: In this episode, we explore the rich doctrines found in Genesis 5 and Moses 6. We look at the legacy of Adam and the rise of Enoch, uncovering the patterns of faith that define the patriarchal priesthood. The Book of Remembrance: We discuss why the early Saints kept a record in their own language and how writing down our spiritual experiences preserves them for our children. Parenting in the Gospel: Adam and Eve taught their children "in the way of understanding," providing a model for teaching by the Spirit and through the "power of God". The Call of Enoch: We analyze Enoch's deep insecurity when called to preach—his youth and his speech impediment—and God's promise to "open thy mouth" and "fill it". The Power of a Seer: Enoch was commanded to "wash thine eyes with clay," a symbol of purifying his vision to see things not visible to the natural eye. The First Principles: Enoch teaches the fundamental "plan of salvation" through baptism, the Spirit, and the Atonement, showing that the gospel has been the same from the very beginning. Call-to-Action: What "speech impediment" or insecurity is holding you back from doing what God has asked of you? How can Enoch's story help you move forward today?

DJ grew up believing he knew exactly where he came from—named after his father, raised in a working-class family shaped by absence, anger, and long stretches of silence. From childhood jokes about not looking like his dad to being told his parents stayed together “for him,” this episode sits with the doubts he learned to carry without ever questioning out loud.DJ can be found on social media: Facebook and Instagram @radiodjthedjResources Mentioned:Untangling our Roots Summit Held in Atlanta Mar 19-22 2026Thank you to Olivia Mesnard Hendrix for working on the new upcoming logo for NPE Stories.

On this episode, Katie Hays shares her story of growing up around cultural Christianity, walking through anxiety and depression, and experiencing a sexual assault by someone she trusted. We talk honestly about the aftermath of false guilt, complicated community responses, reporting, and the slow grind of the court process, along with the turning point that led her to place her faith and hope in Jesus.While this episode covers topics often avoided, the focus is on moving out of shame and reclaiming the victory we have in Christ. We explore how Scripture reframes identity, justice, and courage in the midst of suffering.LMNT High School TeamChrist's Genealogy and Why It Matters Pt. 1 & 2Her Loss is Great, But God is Greater | Anne Tully TuttleSpoken WordSend us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.
