This episode features listener takeaways from the recent RootsTech 2026 conference. Diana discusses the overall positive impressions of the event, noting the high quality of the presentations and the unanimous message about disclosing the use of AI and double-checking its work. Nicole and Diana review several classes on AI, including transforming family history into song, understanding AI's role in archival stewardship, and mastering the basics of AI for genealogy. They share lessons on using AI to abstract information from records, create citations, and analyze research logs to identify gaps. Diana also discusses her class on using AI to clarify complex court records by translating obsolete terms and organizing chronological data. The hosts share insights on specialized research areas, methodology, and records. Diana highlights classes on DNA, including using shared-match grids to analyze and group DNA matches and a methodology to defeat the "Genealogy Gremlin" by evaluating match pedigrees and mitigating confirmation bias. They share a listener's review of Michael Lacopo's session on how to successfully approach non-responsive cousins to encourage them to share their DNA. The hosts discuss classes on research methodology, such as resolving same-name issues by building identity profiles and constructing timelines, and using genealogical analysis to solve conflicting birth dates. Diana notes that a class on probate files reveals that these records contain many rich documents beyond the will, offering clues about an ancestor's associates and lifestyle. They also share Sue Taylor's review a class on Italian records that explains the Latin grammatical forms—nominative, genitive, and accusative—found in civil and parish records. Listeners learn how to access recordings and handouts from RootsTech to apply new AI tools to their research, master advanced DNA analysis techniques, and apply genealogical proof standards to complex records and challenging research questions.

This week Sue shares from Scripture and personal experience of being seen by God. God isn't only for the ‘all' but also for the ‘one'. He sees YOU! This message was given at Kāpiti Impact Church in Paraparaumu, NZ.
We believe everyone has a right to feel good, especially in these times. Mama Sue Taylor built a whole business off this belief. At 77 years old, Mama Sue is thriving and running a successful cannabis business helping elders take their life back. But she wasn’t always so weed positive. She tells X how she went from being a retired Catholic school principal to being the first Black woman in the Bay Area to open a dispensary. In a truly intergenerational conversation, they discuss the importance of being able to change your mind as you age, and why our grandparents need “trusted messengers.” Mama Sue also talks about getting her business off the ground, despite the barriers she faced. This series was created in partnership with Flourish Ventures, an early-stage global investment firm backing mission-driven entrepreneurs and industry influencers working toward a fair financial system for all.

In this episode, Court & Clara share how Sue Taylor joined the story of The Pearl House and how together, we can accomplish far greater than we could dream of on our own.
Sue Taylor born in Jennings Louisiana in the '40s, the seventh of twelve children, moved at the age of 12 to San Mateo, California, just south of San Francisco. Sue became a teacher, and then a principal at two Catholic schools in the Bay Area. Sue studied many concepts of spirituality, and meditation at the divinity school which enlightened her about holistic living and a pharmaceutical-free lifestyle. This was the reason that Sue founded a holistic spirituality center supported by a medical cannabis dispensary. Sue's Dispensary is one-of-its-kind as it incorporates, education, outreach certification (CEU's), and cannabis retail. Sue Taylor is one of few in the state of California that is accredited by the state to teach two courses on Cannabis to medical administrators and nurses. Sue is also an activist and a lobbyist locally and nationally. She has lobbied for the city of Berkeley and was instrumental in implementing many new Bills. In 2019, Sue lobbied to the house of Senate and Congress, in partnership with Oaksterdam University, to decriminalize cannabis for elders. Sue Taylor is heavily sought out to travel and speak at luncheons, and seminars. She has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, News 21, New York, Sway Morning Show, New York, CBS Morning Show, California Health Report B., Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and much more. Sue's mission is to continue to educate on a global level to further de-stigmatize the cannabis plant.
