An AI guide for hobby genealogists that organizes searches, cites sources, and surfaces records—reducing guesswork by 41% within your first two weeks.
Research stalls when tabs multiply, notes scatter, and simple questions morph into confusing detours. Generic trees and static checklists miss context, repeat searches, and rarely explain why a record matters. Genealogy Wizard builds a living plan, flags credible sources, auto-cites findings, and keeps you moving confidently.
Our founder, Mara Jensen, was a librarian-turned-data-analyst who loved family history but dreaded the chaos. The breaking point came after realizing her “organized” tree had two different men merged as the same great-grandfather. She spent weeks untangling the mistake and documenting sources from scratch. That mess led to an insight: genealogists don’t need more hints—they need a sequence that teaches good method. Mara sketched the first dynamic checklist on index cards, then prototyped it into an adaptive research planner. Early versions were tested with a local genealogy society, who saw fewer repeated searches and cleaner citations. Today, Genealogy Wizard exists to make proof-first research feel clear, teachable, and satisfying.
In 5–10 minutes, pick a person, place, or relationship to prove. The app translates that goal into a focused, sequenced plan that feels manageable.
Spend 15 minutes entering basic facts and attaching any sources you trust. You’ll feel relief as scattered notes become a single, organized starting point.
In 30–45 minute sessions, run prioritized searches and capture findings with one‑click citations. Each week the plan updates, so momentum stays steady.
Flag contradictions and close them with guided tasks over 1–2 weeks. Export clean summaries to share with family or your genealogy society without anxiety.
Get organized fast with core planning, source suggestions, and basic citations. Ideal for new family historians.

I used to open the same five tabs every weekend. With the weekly plan, I found 37 new records in two weekends and finally cited everything properly.
Our beginner group cut meeting prep from 6 hours to 2.1 hours per month. Members attach sources consistently now, which lifted the quality of our shared trees.
Students stayed focused because every step had a why. We saw a 24% bump in properly cited entries during the local history project.
The match triage labels were a game‑changer. I sent three targeted messages and confirmed a fourth‑cousin line within a week.
Visitors arrive with printouts that make sense now. Clean citations and specific call numbers cut our lookup time by around 35 minutes per visit.
