I asked for the outline for a Genealogical Report. It suggested:
Title
Table of Contents
Introduction
Research Objective
Summary of Findings
Research Methodology
Detailed Findings
Analysis and Discussion
Conclusion
Appendices
Bibliography
I asked for an example. The result seemed reasonable. To be sure it wasn’t hullicinating I fed it information for a situation I knew about . The result was impressive. While there were errors and omissions they would be easy to correct.
