Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- What Was Your Biggest Genealogy Wild Ancestor (Goose) Chase?

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1)  All genealogists are human, and most of us have gone on wild ancestor (goose) chases in our genealogy research career.  What was one of the wild ancestor chases in your research?  Explain the situation and how you (hopefully!) solved the puzzle.

2) Tell us about your biggest genealogy wild ancestor (goose) chase in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post.  Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

Here's mine:

When I started doing research in 1988, I was really excited to find all of the information available at the San Diego Family History Center in books (surname books, locality books, how-to books) on the shelf, microfiche (IGI, Ancestral File, PRF, etc.) on carousels, and microfilm (vitals, probate, land, books, etc.) in the drawers.  And I could order microfilm from Salt Lake City!  What a find.

Every Saturday I went to the Center and added many ancestors to my family group sheets and pedigree chart and pretty soon, I knew who all of my 2nd great-grandparents were, and who their parents were (with some exceptions).  That didn't take long.  But then it got harder.  

One of my wild ancestor chases was finding the parents of my 2nd great-grandmother Sophia (Newton) Hildreth (1834-1923) were. There was no record of  Sophia's 1834 birth, but I had an 1850 census record in Northborough, Mass. of Sophia (age 15, born in Vermont) with her mother, Sophia Newton (age 53, born in Mass.).  The Newton surname books and Massachusetts and Vermont locality books had nothing for me. I searched all of the census records, IGI and Ancestral File for Sophia Newtons born in Vermont, and there were several but the mother was not a Sophia.

Then I obtained Sophia's 1852 marriage record to Edward Hildreth in Northborough, Mass. and it listed her father's name as Thomas J. Newton.  When I found Sophia's 1923 death record in during a visit to the Leominster, Mass. town hall in 1990, I found that she was born in Cambridge, Vermont and her mother's name was Sophia (Buck) Newton.  Some records said that Thomas J. Newton was born in Maine.

I could not find any record of Thomas J. Newton until I found a son named Thomas J. Newton born in about 1835 living with another family in Mass. in the 1850 census, and then found his marriage record in 1864 that said his parents were Thomas and Sophia Newton and he was born in Cambridge, Vermont.  I looked for probate and land records without success in Lamoille County, Vermont.  I then looked for Thomas Newtons who might have been in Maine in the 1790s and 1800s.  I found all kinds of records, but not one was close to conclusive [I still don't know what Thomas J. Newton's birth date/place, death date/place, or who his parents were!].

We went to New England on vacation in 2006 and visited my Aunt Gerry in Augusta, Maine.  On our way back to Massachusetts, we stopped in Dixfield, Oxford County, Maine because that was one of the two towns where Newtons (originally from Massachusetts) had settled in the late 1700s.  It was pretty, but there was no indication of "my" Thomas.

While researching Sophia Buck (1797-1882), daughter of Isaac and Martha (Phillips) Buck, I found that she had married Lambert Brigham (1794-1834) in 1817 and had two sons, Augustus Brigham (1820-1909) and Aurelius Brigham (1830-1878). So I researched them. Then I found out that Lambert Brigham died in May 1834 in Westborough, Mass., and a man named Thomas J. Newton was in the town records at the same time.  

I also found that Sophia (Buck) (Brigham) Newton married Jonathan Stone in 1862, and he died in 1868.  Sophia died in Westborough in 1882.  

Putting it all together, my current thinking is that Sophia (Buck) (Newton) Stone (1797-1882) married (1) 1817 Lambert Brigham, (2) 1834 Thomas J. Newton, and (3) 1862 Jonathan Stone.  I think she had Augustus Brigham and Aurelius Brigham by Lambert Brigham, and was pregnant with Sophia Newton when Lambert Brigham died in June 1834.  I think she married (?) or ran off with Thomas J. Newton to Cambridge, Vermont and had her son Thomas J. Newton there in 1835.  I think Thomas and Sophia Newton separated before 1850 but I have found no divorce record.  

So there it stands after 35 years - I still don't have any direct evidence that Lambert Brigham or Thomas J. Newton was the father of Sophia (Newton) Hildreth.  I do have a number of AncestryDNA matches with ThruLines, with shared DNA segments of 10-20 cM, from other descendants of Lambert Brigham or his parents and grandparents.  I have no AncestryDNA ThruLines for Thomas J. Newton.  

You can read more about Sophia (Newton) Hildreth in 52 Ancestors, Week 12: #19 Sophia (Newton) Hildreth (1834-1923) of Leominster, Mass.  

My dilemma is summed up in this paragraph from the genealogical sketch for Thomas J. Newton:
"A problem with these children is their relative birth dates.  If daughter Sophia Newton was born on 14 September 1834, and son Thomas J. Newton was born on 3 June 1835, that is less than nine months apart.  If Thomas was born in 1832 and Sophia in 1834, that would be logical.  Or if Sophia was born in 1834 and Thomas in 1836, that would be logical.  Or it could be that they had two different mothers (say, an earlier wife for one of them, and Sophia for the second child).  Or both children could be Lambert Brigham's children.  Or one or both of the children could be adopted."

'Tis still somewhat of a mystery, but I think I'm right about Sophia (Newton) Hildreth's father being Lambert Brigham because of the DNA matches.  

My wild ancestor chase in this case was following the Newton research trail for so long, but I didn't get the Lambert Brigham death record until 2014 and the DNA matches in about 2019.

Using Artificial Intelligence In the Ancestor Biography Creation Process

 I have been experimenting for over a year now with Artificial Intelligence tools to determine how I can best use them for my genealogy research and family history work.  After 36 years of research, and blogging about genealogy since April 2006 on Genea-Musings, I have a wealth of material to work with.  It is all imperfect!

A)  The Ancestor Biography Creation Goal

My present life goal is to create eBooks for my relatives and descendants, and anyone else interested, about my own ancestry and my wife's ancestry.  I have lots of genealogy records about all of my ancestors back many generations, but very few family stories about my close family, plus any I have found from books, periodicals, blog posts, etc. while doing research.  How best can I do this with consistency and better wordsmithing than I can create myself?

I also want to create audio and video files about my own life for my descendants, and try to tell my story in my own voice.

Here is my current process to create consistent ancestor and relative biographies that may interest my relatives and descendants.

B)  Using Artificial Intelligence to Create An Ancestral Biography

1)  Ancestor/Relative Research Notes:  Using the RootsMagic family tree program, I create ancestor and relative research notes in Person Notes with references to sources for most of the events in each ancestor or relative profile.  The Person Notes are essentially chronological and often include a summary of each record found to document the life of the person. 

2)  Ancestor/Relative Genealogical Sketches:  Using the RootsMagic Person Notes, and some of the record images, I write a blog post on Genea-Musings for each ancestor or relative.  A compendium of the blog posts can be found on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page on Genea-Musings.  I create a PDF document of the ancestor/relative genealogical sketch. 

3)  Ancestor/Relative Biography:  I attach the PDF document  of the genealogical sketch to the free Claude (usually 3.7 Sonnet) AI tool to write the biography, using the prompt:  "You are an expert genealogist. Please create a draft biography from the attached file, including parents, siblings, spouses and children (with birth and death dates and places), summarize life events, and add historical facts as appropriate, but do not add or embellish any extra genealogical details. Use section headings. Expand the information in each section to add more details. The tone should be casual and suitable for family members."

I usually have to request Claude AI to expand each paragraph for more information. The result of this is copied to a word processing file and saved in my computer "AI Biographies" file folder for the person.

4) Ancestor/Relative Poem and Song Lyrics: I use one or more of the free ChatGPT4, Claude, Grok, Gemini and Perplexity AI tools to write a poem and song lyrics based on the uploaded genealogical sketch PDF. My prompt is usually "Please create a poem and song lyrics to commemorate [this person's] life."  I copy the poems and song lyrics in a word processing document and save it in my computer file folder for "AI Poems and Songs." for the person. I choose one poem and one song lyrics to use in a blog post. The song lyrics are used to create a 3-4 minute song on www.Suno.com for the subject person, which I save in an "AI Songs" computer file folder. The poems and songs could be collected into an audio book or video for a family library, a YouTube channel, or even bedtime stories. <G>

5) Ancestor/Relative Briefing Document and Podcast: I use the free Google NotebookLM to upload the Ancestor/Relative genealogical sketch PDF in order to create a Briefing Document, a Timeline with a cast of characters, answers to assorted chat questions, and an Audio Overview (a podcast in an 8 to 20 minutes WAV file - I can create only three Audio Interviews each day). I save the Audio Overview in an "AI Podcasts" computer file folder.

6) Ancestor/Relative Podcast Transcription: I use the Audio Overview WAV files from NotebookLM to create a text transcription of the Audio Overview podcast using TurboScribe.com (I can do three transcriptions each day for free). I save each podcast transcription in a word processing file and save it in the "AI Audio to Text" computer file folder for the person. The podcast could be used in an ancestor biographical video along with family photographs or genealogy record images.

7) Ancestor Family Images: I will often use a prompt with ChatGPT4, Gemini, Grok, or CoPilot to create a photorealistic image that fits one period or situation of a family's life story. I save the images in an "AI Images" file for each AI Tool. I use these images to illustrate my blog posts and they can be useful for biographies.

C) What I've Done to Date:

1) I have completed all of the above for my two parents, my four grandparents, my 8 great-grandparents, and my 16 2nd great-grandparents. I'm currently doing the tasks for my 32 3rd great-grandparents one week at a time. I want to do the same tasks for my wife's ancestral families back through her 2nd great-grandparents.

2) I have collected all of the Claude AI biographies for my ancestors through the 2nd great-grandparents into one word processing document. I need to edit them and standardize them, and then add some photographs of the ancestors. In the short-term, I will save this document as a PDF in an ebook format and send it to my descendants and relatives as soon as I can so that the work is not lost completely when I pass away. I will do the same for my wife's ancestors also through the 2nd great-grandparents.

3) I can usually perform all of the AI tasks after creating the PDF of the ancestor genealogical sketch in about 30 minutes. Creating and listening to the song, and waiting for the Audio Overview to complete, take the longest time.

D) A Rough Mind Map:

I asked the GenSpark AI Tool to create a mind map of the Ancestor Biography Creation (ABC) Process outlined above, and the above chart is the first pass. I asked it to attach lines from one module to another and it did not do well in a second pass.

In the chart above, each module has identified a task and an output to create an Ancestor Biography. I need to tell GenSpark, or another AI tool that does mind maps, that I want a line from #1 to #2; a line from #2 to #3; a line from #3 to #4, #5, and #7; a line from #5 to #6; and lines from #3, #4, #5, #6 and #7 to the Ancestral Biography Creation box in the middle.

E) The Future?

Dedicated Genea-Musings readers will recognize the elements in this Ancestor Biography Creation (ABC) Process as what I roughly outlined in words in my blog post on 1 April 2025 titled "Announcing YOUR GENEA-GENIE."  See, there was method to my madness!!

I foresee a dedicated Ancestor Biography Creation (ABC) AI Agent tool that can do this ancestor biography creation in one prompt, along with the PDF (or other) input to provide the information for the ancestor.  The researcher will have to do the research work, but this process should turn out a decent set of outputs that can be used or modified to the user's wishes. 

Unfortunately, I am not that good of a programmer or promptmeister to create this type of AI Agent tool.  I would be happy to work with someone on it, though!

=====================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

Marshall notes that there are:

*  0 removed entries
*  11 added entries 
*  120 updated entries
*  24 entries with more or fewer images and/or records

The FamilySearch website says there are 3434 total entries on the list (without signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3434 (without signing in).  They are in-sync.

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to 
 https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
