We're tackling questions like: What are AI chatbots? What are the top chatbots? Are they private? Why are they free and will they stay free? Should you trust the results? Watch to the end to see the shocking results I received when using it for genealogy! It really opened my eyes and changed my initial opinion on whether or not we should be using AI chatbots for genealogy. Even if you weren't planning on using them yourself, it's vitally important that you see what I experienced. Other people are going to use this technology. They are going to be integrating their findings into what they share online, and you will inevitably come across that information.

The 1931 Census of Canada was released on June 1, 2023. It doesn't have an index (yet!) that allows you to search by name (although it's in the works). But you don't have to wait to search. Here are the 4 strategies you need to help you browse and search the 1931 Canadian Census very quickly to find your ancestors and relatives.

Finding female ancestors poses unique challenges that can throw roadblocks in your way. And the reason for that is simple. The women in our family tree assume the surname of their husbands when they marry. In genealogy, we're researching backward through time, and that means we encounter a woman’s married surname first. However, it's critical that we eventually locate the records that mention the woman's maiden name so that we can find her parents and continue to climb her family tree. Professional genealogist Shelley Bishop has come to the rescue in her new family tree magazine article. It's called Ladies in Waiting. In that article, she covers 12 resources for discovering maiden names. ✔ SHOW NOTES: https://lisalouisecooke.com/elevenses/ (Premium Member Bonus Downloadable PDF in the Resources section.) 💎 Become a Premium Member here: https://lisalouisecooke.com/premium-membership/ ⌚ Jump to Video Sections: 0:00 Introduction 01:26 12 Marriage Records 02:19 Family Records 03:15 Church Records 04:37 Children's Vital Records 06:44 Death Records 08:29 Cemetery Sources 10:03 Census Records 12:23 Newspapers 14:03 Published Sources 15:30 Court Records 17:20 Deeds 19:00 Military Pension Records 👍 & 💬 SUPPORT: Please give this free video a thumbs up, & comment thank you! – Lisa ⭐Get your official Elevenses with Lisa mug: https://genealogy-gems.myteespring.co/?_ga=GA1.2.1090603222.1607097375 🛒 Shop my store: https://www.shopgenealogygems.com/ (Books, video tutorials and cheat sheets.) ▶ 👀 WATCH NEXT: Elevenses with Lisa Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvm6LYBUaNE&list=PLO4MJCRLjwXh9lNuXaCtIPMgnIUP0zITb ✏SIGN UP for our newsletter & receive my free genealogy search cheat sheet. https://lisalouisecooke.com/newsletter-form/ Join the Genealogy Gems Family: 💎 My Genealogy Gems Website: https://lisalouisecooke.com/ 💎 The Genealogy Gems Podcast: https://lisalouisecooke.com/podcasts/ 📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/GenealogyGems/ ▶ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LisaCooke 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genealogygemspodcast/ 📌 Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/lisalouisecooke/ #Genealogy #FamilyHistory
