Thanks Lynda! Kirsi is amazing. I’ve learned so much from her, even before the interview. I’m a big fan of her newsletter.

Wow what a great conversation. I especially love the ideas for AI use. I just wrote a post on using Perplexity, another AI tool for my background research. If you’re interested you can read it here: https://saphyre.substack.com/p/ai-research-in-genealogy?r=3nofuc

What a great conversation! After reading your stacks it was wonderful to "meet" you both! I enjoyed learning about Kirsi's process and especially how we can use AI to get the writing juices flowing. I hope you do more of these Robin. There is such a great community of family historians and genealogists here on Substack. I hope to get to know more of you.

Wasn’t Kirsi amazing? I absolutely plan to do more podcasts. One a month for our Mission Genealogy community. I hope you’ve subscribed! So much more to come!

Enjoyed this. Kirsi is the person who first introduced me to Substack. Still finding my way around. There is a depth of knowledge and information here.

Hi Nancy! Welcome in! I'm so glad Kirsi introduced you to this community of family historians. If you need any help with navigating Mission: Genealogy or Substack in general, please reach out to either myself or Barbara Tien. There is a DM feature in the chat if you haven't discovered it yet.

What a great interview! I also love AI and also see it as an assistant. But what I took from this interview and from Krisi's words is I don't need to know everything about a person to write that story. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next podcast.
