    RLP 391: Revisiting the Father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston - Part 4 Research Planning
    Jan 5 2026
    In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss the crucial "Research Planning" stage of the Research Like a Pro process in the fourth part of their series on the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Nicole begins by emphasizing the importance of creating a thoughtful research plan rather than haphazardly searching records. Diana then walks through the specific steps she takes for this case study. She states her objective, which is to discover a candidate for Cynthia Dillard's father residing in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s. Listeners hear her summary of known facts for Cynthia, her husband Thomas B. Royston, and a probable relative, Elijah Dillard, who was identified through DNA. Nicole shares the background information she gathered on Cass County, Georgia, including its formation, its role in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery, and the impact of the Civil War. Diana presents her hypothesis, suggesting that Cynthia and Thomas B. Royston married in Cass County around 1833 and that two Dillard household heads from the 1840 census are potential candidates for Cynthia's father. Finally, she shares her full list of identified sources from her Cass County locality guide and concludes with her prioritized research plan, which starts with Census, Marriage, and Land Records. Listeners learn how to systematically move from a broad objective and known facts to a focused, prioritized plan for complex family history research. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

    RLP 390: Revisiting the Father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston - Part 3 Locality Research
    Dec 29 2025
    The episode centers on the process of locality research for Cass County, Georgia, as Diana continues her project to find the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana explains her research objective is to discover a candidate for Cynthia's father residing in the county during the 1830s. Nicole discusses the importance of narrowing the time frame for a locality guide, focusing on the county's earliest years from 1832 to 1860. They then compare their process for utilizing the Deep Research capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create the guide, sharing their query and noting the varying results from Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Diana and Nicole discuss two crucial findings that impacted their research strategy. They detail the county's name change from Cass to Bartow in 1861 due to General Lewis Cass's Union sympathies and the Confederacy's desire to honor Colonel Francis S. Bartow. They also review the record loss event from the courthouse burning in 1864, explaining that many records like deed and marriage books were saved by the heroic efforts of County Clerk Tom Word. Additionally, they summarize the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery, which was the method for distributing land and attracting settlers to the area. Listeners learn how to efficiently use AI to create a comprehensive locality guide and gain valuable insight into how events like name changes, record loss, and land distribution fundamentally shape genealogical records.

    RLP 389: Revisiting the Father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston - Part 2 Timeline
    Dec 22 2025
    This episode focuses on the second step of the Research Like a Pro process: creating a timeline and analyzing the sources in the ongoing quest to find the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana begins by detailing the research objective for this phase: to discover a candidate for Cynthia's father residing in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s. Diana discusses compiling a timeline for Cynthia, analyzing her census records, and explaining why she estimates Cynthia's birth year as 1815, based on her marriage and the birth of her oldest child. Nicole introduces the section on Elijah Dillard of Alabama, a possible genetic brother to Cynthia, whom Diana includes in the timeline for comparison. Diana reviews Elijah's records and estimates his birth year to be close to Cynthia's. Listeners learn how to critically evaluate conflicting ages in census records and use other family events to narrow down a probable birth year. Diana then adds the unresearched Cass County, Georgia, Dillards from the 1840 census to the timeline, identifying Elizabeth and John Dillard as the most likely parents based on their age. She notes a second Elijah Dillard in the Cass County group, which prompts her to use geographic identifiers in the timeline to distinguish the two men. Diana concludes with a source analysis of the federal census records, discussing their value as original records and the difference between direct evidence and undetermined information. She also observes that the proximity of John, William, and Elijah in the 1840 census district suggests a connection, while Elizabeth's location requires further research. Listeners see how to use timelines to organize existing research and how initial record analysis can lead to new research questions. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.
