After many months of research, writing, and refinement, I’m pleased to share that my new book, The Genealogist’s AI Field Manual 2026, is now available on Amazon.
This project brings together my work in genealogy, archival research, and emerging AI tools, with a focus on practical, ethical, and structured research workflows.
I’m grateful for the support and conversations that helped shape it, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it supports researchers and family historians navigating this new space.
Depending where you live it is available in Kindle, Paperback & Hardcover.
