Repeatedly deciphering the same handwritten record while manually copying names, dates, places, and relationships into research notes.
After
A source-faithful transcript plus a structured genealogy index ready to verify, search, cite, and export.
From Family Record to Searchable Evidence
Transcript first, index second
The workflow preserves a faithful transcript of the record, then builds a structured index from facts visibly present in the source. That keeps the original evidence separate from the extracted genealogy fields.
Record-aware extraction
Church, census, probate, military, immigration, vital, and land records describe different events. The workflow identifies the apparent record type and organizes only the fields supported by that document.
No invented family connections
Names, relationships, dates, places, occupations, units, vessels, and property references are included only when visible. Ambiguous readings are marked for review instead of being silently resolved.
