AvailableHow to Start Family Research
A practical starting point for careful family research.Good family research starts small: known people, reliable dates, family documents, and careful notes about where each claim came from.
What this means
- Start with what your family already knows, then separate memories from verified facts.
- Record the source behind each important date, place, and relationship.
- Keep unresolved questions visible so future research can improve them.
How AINMAX supports this
- The logged-in dashboard is designed as a research workspace, not a social feed.
- Research tasks, sources, citations, facts, evidence review, and collaboration stay connected to the same family context.
- Timeline and archive tools help compare chronology, documents, and evidence without hiding uncertainty.
What is available now
- Research task workspaces, source/citation/fact collections, filters, sorting, and authorized collaboration.
- Evidence Review with explicit decisions, structured reasons, version checks, and safe conflict handling.
- Archive Reading Room, Timeline, person views, and dashboard navigation are available in the protected workspace.
What is planned
- Additional research guidance and educational material.
- More integrations with external research sources only after privacy and provenance review.
- AI research assistance remains explicitly planned and inactive.
