RLP 339: Customizing an Airtable Research Log for Tax Records Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

In Episode #339 of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss customizing an Airtable research log for tax research. Tax records are invaluable for genealogy research because they were taken annually, filling in the gaps between federal censuses. The challenge is finding a good way to track and analyze the data. Airtable is a favorite research log tool, and by adding a linked table to the log, researchers can tame tax data and make it work for them.

Diana shares a case study using her ancestor, Henderson Weatherford, who resided in Dallas County in 1860 and appeared on a tax list that same year. She wanted to track the Weatherfords who showed up in Dallas County by 1850 to see if there was any connection to her ancestor. Nicole explains the technical setup in Airtable, starting with the RLP with DNA 4.0 (2024) Airtable base template and adding a new table by matching the headings in the new table to the headings on a tax list. Diana explains how she analyzes the data in the Airtable research log by grouping the tax table by an individual to view their economic status. She gives practical applications of her research process and concludes that tax records are valuable in genealogy research. Listeners will learn how to use Airtable to track and analyze tax data to further their genealogy research.

RLP 338: When City Directory Indexing Goes Wrong Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss the challenges of using city directories in genealogical research. Nicole shares her experience with the Trinidad, Colorado, city directory, where she encountered indexing errors due to the directory's unique formatting. The directory included the post office location after each person's name, which the indexing process misinterpreted as a middle name. This led to difficulties in finding her research subject using the search function.

Nicole and Diana emphasize the importance of carefully examining original images and using multiple sources when working with city directories. They also provide tips for effective searching, such as creating locality guides, browsing the database, using varied search strategies, and checking multiple sources. Listeners will learn valuable insights into navigating the complexities of city directory research and improving their overall research skills.

She is impressed with the accuracy, noting that Claude even outperformed her manual transcription in some instances.

Diana and Nicole then provide listeners with valuable tips for transcribing handwritten text using LLMs. They emphasize choosing images in prose format, using image files instead of PDFs, cropping images effectively, and crafting prompts that preserve original line lengths and highlight illegible words. By following these tips, listeners can leverage the power of LLMs to enhance their own transcription efforts and improve their genealogy research.

RLP 331: Using GEDmatch DNA Segment Tools in a Research Project Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss using DNA segment data in a research project. Diana shares her experience working on a chromosome map in DNA Painter for several years, gradually adding matches identified as descending from one of her ancestral couples. She focuses on her Cline DNA research project, where she seeks genetic evidence to confirm her hypothesis that John C. Cline is the father of Clemsy (Cline) Weatherford. Diana details her process of identifying a Cline network on Ancestry DNA and using GEDmatch's segment search and triangulation tools to find shared segments and potential connections.

Through her research, Diana discovered a shared DNA segment on chromosome 22 with a match named Jane, who also descends from Clemsy Cline. This breakthrough allowed her to identify the segment as originating from the Cline/Weatherford line and paint it on her DNA Painter chromosome map. By triangulating the data, she found additional DNA matches sharing the segment, opening up new avenues for exploration and potential confirmation of her hypothesis about Clemsy's parentage. Listeners will learn valuable tips for using DNA segment data and GEDmatch tools in their own research projects.
