ancestryllm

Local-first, privacy-first genealogy tools for GEDCOM and RootsMagic—Python CLI, interactive console, and explicit opt-in LLM assistance.

researchzosho

Use it for a literature review or your family tree. It runs with a local LLM (Ollama, llama.cpp) or a hosted API.

us-places-mcp

MCP server for where things were, then: which US county held a place on a date (Newberry county-boundary atlas via OpenHistoricalMap), federal land descriptions and PLSS locations, and the route from a land patent to its case file.
