We were looking at an old pedigree chart that was hand drawn. Wonderful work. My thought was, at least, we know this didn't come from GenAI/LLM. Here is a compressed look at the photo of the chart that was posted by Melissa Berry on the FB Group - New England Family Genealogy and History.

One sees modern verrsions of this type of chart, many done by computers. Our hope is that these get documented some way for future researchers, especially if provenance needs to be considered. But, that's another issue for another time.
We have had several posts on genealogy and on our thoughts of such. To note, we support The Heritage Society Community and the Daughters of the American Revolution and more. With the 250th now in progress, themes of lineage will be constant.
But, with tecnology, especially advanced computing, we have been going on about this for several years now. In particular, we note the need for computers to support science and any work of difficulty and as those that are complicated. Along that line, we looked at Gibbs of thermodynamics fame after the Nobel prize of last year being directed to mathematical physics (namely, xNN). HIs work impressed Maxwell of Scotland (as in, James Clerk).
Some posts on genealogy: Endless genealogies; Vanity genealogy; Modern genealogy; Major players; ... This might be the time to point to the Mathematics genealogy project. Here is the page for Josiah Gibbs.

Switching gears, while looking at our posts, we found this article: 10 New Englanders Turned On By Timothy Leary. Taking a quick look, we saw many familiar names. We might look at this further in terms of genealogy and psychology.
