Welcome to Research Like a Pro! In this episode, Diana and Nicole explore how artificial intelligence can help identify vehicles in old family photographs, adding depth to family stories. Diana shares her experience using a custom GPT called "Genealogy Eyes" through ChatGPT to analyze a photo of her mother, Anna Mae Kelsey, seated on a sheep in front of the family car.
Listeners learn how AI can identify specific car models and features, providing insights into the family's economic status and the cultural context of the time. The AI analysis helped Diana identify the car as likely a 1930 Ford Model A Tudor or Fordor Sedan, a popular and affordable vehicle of that era. This discovery, combined with knowledge of her grandfather's successful livestock business, painted a richer picture of her grandparents' hard work and prosperity. The episode highlights how details like a family car can offer valuable clues to understanding an ancestor's life.
