autoresearch-genealogy
Structured prompts, vault templates, and archive guides for AI-assisted genealogy research. Built for Claude Code.
The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Mar 2026
This gives you structured prompts, Obsidian vault templates, and archive research guides specifically for genealogy work with Claude Code.
It's not a tool you install. It's a research methodology packaged as Claude Code skills. You get templates for organizing findings, prompts that know how to search genealogy databases, and guides for navigating archives like Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, and government records.

The catch: this is a niche application of AI research skills. If you're not doing genealogy, it's useless. The quality of results depends heavily on what records are available online. AI can't access physical archives or read handwritten documents that haven't been digitized. And it's prompts and templates, not a tool. The actual research still requires human judgment about which sources to trust.
