  • RLP 341: The Value of Negative Evidence

    RLP 341: The Value of Negative Evidence
    Jan 20 2025
    In today's episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss the value of negative evidence in genealogy research. They explore the case of Henderson Weatherford, who was long assumed to be the son of William Weatherford. However, a careful examination of William's probate records reveals that Henderson is not listed among the heirs. Additionally, tax records show that Henderson disappeared from the tax rolls between 1861 and 1862, and his property was subsequently listed under his son-in-law's name. The absence of a probate file for Henderson in Dallas County further supports the theory that he was not related to the established Weatherford family in the area. The hosts emphasize the importance of thoroughly searching available records and documenting negative searches. By paying close attention to what is missing from the records, researchers can disprove family relationships, narrow down time periods for events, and find new research directions.

    RLP 340: Using AI to Analyze Tax Data
    Jan 13 2025
    In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss using AI to analyze tax records. Tax research involves a lot of data, and once you've extracted the data, analyzing it can be a challenge. Diana explains how she exported data from Airtable into a CSV file, and Nicole explains how she used Claude AI to create a table from the data. Diana provides an example of how she used the AI analysis to gain new insights into Jefferson Weatherford, an early settler in Dallas County. Diana shares a case study of Henderson Weatherford, demonstrating how the tax records revealed his connection to Samuel H. Beeman and Henderson's death or move by 1865. Nicole shares technical tips for refining a narrative using AI and incorporating the data into a research report. Diana discusses the benefits and limitations of using AI for tax record analysis, emphasizing how it enhanced her analysis and saved writing time while also providing new insights.
