Wolfram Alpha

AI Generated Photo

 I've been writing alot about AI but I'd like to let you know about another cool tech tool that is invaluable for your genealogy.

Best part - it's free! I LOVE free!

Just click on WolframAlpha and you will find a variety of topics, such as Math, Science & Tech, Society & Culture, and Everyday Life.

How could you use this with genealogy? Well, Society and Culture would be a benefit if you are writing about the historical period in which your ancestor lived. The People section will allow you to see who was influential in your forebear's time period.

The Dates & Times section can give you facts about a particular date. Want to quickly calculate that tombstone inscription from the date of death to determine the birthdate from 88 y. 3 m. 2 d.? It can do that, too!

Words & Linguistics is another option when you are trying to translate and get stuck.

This site was not developed for genealogy but can be helpful. There is a Genealogy section - first click "Hobbies" and it will be displayed under "Genealogy." This section is designed to help establish family relationships.

Give it a whirl!
