The Bristol Chapter of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc. will hold its monthly business meeting on Saturday, December 20th followed by a presentation beginning at Noon. This presentation is free and Open to the Public.
Kevin Desforges will present in-person “Preserving and Passing Down Your Genealogical Legacy”.
This two-part presentation will cover two subjects closely related: Tools to Help Your Life's Genealogical Work Survive into the Future and Ancestor Photographs and Facial Recognition AI. After a lifetime of passionate research and compiling your family history, there comes a time when you consider who in the future will appreciate, benefit, and hopefully cherish your work and even build upon it. Let's consider a few tools to help your life's genealogical work survive into the future. The second part will be about how Facial Recognition AI offers a powerful tool to help identify your ancestors in other people’s photographs.
In 2006, Kevin Desforges began to focus his technical skills in the area of genealogy and the preservation of family legacy by starting Visual Ancestor (http://www.visualancestor.com )/ www.visualancestor.com), an elite online library of ancestor photographs, after having been inspired by the antique community in Warren, Rhode Island. In 2022, he co-founded a tech company called Echodify (www.echodify.com) which specializes in passing on family legacies to future generations. Currently, he continues to pursue his passion for preserving ancestor photographs, bringing the subject matter into the realm of modern, AI-driven technology such as facial recognition.
