Unsourced Family Trees = Genealogy Slop

ChatGPT has better artistic skills than I do, so I asked it to do the following:Create an image titled "unsourced family trees = genealogy slop" with a stylized family tree and random genealogy words in a slop whirlwind.Chat took the initiative to insert some typical "family legends" such as an ancestor of royal blood, a Mayflower ancestor, a witch trial victim. It sprinkled phrases like "somewhere online" and "internet tree" in the whirlwind of slop. And voila, a fun depiction of a hard truth.Unsourced trees are nothing more than genealogy slop because they get copied and pasted and spread like kudzu. Slop is a pretty good description, right?! This is my "free space" post for week 30 of Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks for 2026.
