What do you do with all that data? Rediscovering Latinidad: Season 8 Ep. 2

Delighted to announce that I’m a guest on another episode of Rediscovering Latinidad! This time, together with Melanie McComb, Senior Genealogist at American Ancestors.

There’s something to be said for learning how to manage large volumes of materials for one’s genealogy and family history. Decades ago, the process was different, as one scanned through reels of microfilm ordered at a local FamilySearch Center. Now, there’s digitization, Full Text Search and AI that can potentially locate a lot of data. What do you do?

Listen to this episode of Rediscovering Latinidad, with host Edward Rueda, Briar Rose & Jelisse and guests Melanie McComb and myself, discussing various approaches to managing genealogical information post-AI.
