My Genealogist helps you organize records, evaluate sources, resolve conflicts, and document your reasoning—while your existing genealogy application remains the home of the accepted family tree.
The research problem
Family-tree applications excel at storing accepted people, relationships, and events. They often leave you alone with messy archives, unclear evidence quality, conflicting records, and uncertainty about the next research step.
My Genealogist closes that gap as a research partner: it helps you assess what you already have, find what is missing, explain reasoning, and prepare reviewable conclusions.

Bring order to years of collected material
Organize scans, transcripts, media, and research notes around the questions they help answer.
Know what to investigate next
Turn gaps and uncertainty into clear, prioritized research steps.
Preserve the reasoning

Research recommendation
Scenario You have two records that may refer to the same person, but the birth years differ.
Before treating these records as the same person, I would compare the places, relatives, occupations, and original source details. The age difference may be explainable, but the current evidence is not yet strong enough to merge the identities.
Suggested next steps
Compare households and relatives
Review the original record images
Check whether the ages were reported consistently
Search for an independent record connecting both identities
Conflict explanation
Scenario A census record reports 1910 as the birth year, while a marriage record reports 1912.
The two records disagree, but they may not carry equal weight. The census age may have been estimated by another household member, while the marriage record may have been supplied closer to the event. I would keep both values visible until additional evidence helps explain the difference.

Research summary
Scenario You reviewed several records connected to a possible parent-child relationship.
The available records consistently place Anna Morgan and Samuel Morgan in the same household between 1880 and 1900. Two records identify Samuel as her son, while one later record lists a different birthplace for Anna. The relationship is well supported, but Anna’s birthplace remains unresolved.
Summary structure
Supported conclusion
Anna Morgan and Samuel Morgan appear together in the same household across multiple records, with two sources identifying Samuel as her son.
Conflicting detail
One later record lists a different birthplace for Anna than earlier household evidence suggests.
Remaining question
Anna’s birthplace is not yet resolved with consistent supporting evidence.
Recommended follow-up
Seek an independent record that confirms Anna’s birthplace without discarding the well-supported parent-child relationship.
Evidence comparison
Scenario Three records provide different levels of support for the same claim.
The birth register provides the strongest support because it directly records the event and was created close to the time it occurred. The census helps corroborate the approximate year. The online tree may point toward useful research, but it should not be treated as evidence without supporting sources.
