AI Genealogy Research Assistant for Claude | Family Tree Research Log and Record Analysis | Digital Download

Find your ancestors. Prove it. Tell their story.

Kin & Record turns Claude into a careful genealogist at your side. It plans your next search, reads old handwriting, classifies the evidence, writes proper citations, untangles conflicting records and turns proven facts into a family story worth passing down.

This is a digital download of AI skills for Claude, the AI assistant by Anthropic. A skill is a set of expert instructions you add to your own Claude account. Nothing to print, no app to learn.

TRY ASKING
"Who were Bridget Kelly's parents? Here's what I have." "Read this 1871 census page." "Write my grandfather's story."

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT DOES
• Hints are clues, not facts: Online trees and record hints get checked against the records before they go in your tree.
• Unclear stays unclear: A smudged name is marked [?], not filled in with a likely guess.
• Stories stay true: Biographies use real records and labelled context. No invented dialogue or feelings.
• Careful with DNA surprises: Unexpected parentage or unknown relatives are handled calmly, with privacy for living people.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Download your 3 files right after purchase (2 skill ZIPs and the Start Here PDF).
2. In Claude, open Customize, then Skills, click +, choose Upload a skill and pick each ZIP. Keep them zipped.
3. Start a new chat and ask: "Help me find the parents of my ancestor. Here's everything I know so far."

WHAT YOU NEED
• A Claude account (claude.ai). The free plan works: turn on code execution in Settings, Capabilities.
• This is a digital file. No physical item will be shipped.

AI DISCLOSURE
I designed and wrote these skills with AI assistance, under my own creative direction and review. When you use them, Claude (an AI) writes the answers.

GOOD TO KNOW
Kin & Record helps you research and write family history based on the records and information you provide. Conclusions depend on the evidence available and may change as new records come to light. DNA interpretation is probabilistic and is not a paternity or legal test.
