Hi, Friends: I asked Claude to draft the announcement below, but I personally wanted to thank you for your support these past three years. I’m excited about this next chapter as we enter the GPT-5-class phase of the AI revolution.
For those just joining us–welcome to this journey of discovery!
Best, Steve
PS: Me again: Episode #30 of The Family History AI Show podcast also begins a back-to-basics series as we recognize that many genealogists and family historians are just discovering AI-assisted work. (Former students and listeners who identify more as intermediate or advanced users, thanks for your patience: more will be revealed. 😉 This first course will be a newcomer-friendly on-ramp. 😊) – Steve
PPS: If GPT-5 drops this week, Mark and I will try be ready for our first same-day record-and-release episode. We’ll see.
🚀 New milestone for our team: we’re opening enrollment for “Introduction to Family History AI,” a five-week, hands-on course designed for anyone who’s just starting to mix AI with genealogical research.
🗓️ When & how it runs
- Live on Zoom Tuesdays, 1-3 PM ET, Oct 14 → Nov 11 2025
- Ten hours of real-time instruction, plus recordings you can replay for two months
- Weekly exercises and a learning community to keep momentum going
💡 Why we built it
Many family historians tell us they’re curious about AI but feel stuck at “square one.” This course is our answer: practical prompts, safe workflows, and a clear path from newcomer to confident user—all rooted in responsible-AI practice.
💵 Cost: $249 for the full series; seats are limited.
