How denissergeevitch/ex-ussr-kinship-research works
This repository is an AI-agent genealogy research skill for former Soviet and Russian Empire records, with scripts and templates for managing and checking case evidence. The principal workflow moves from scoped case intake through historical jurisdiction and source research, then records artifacts and evaluates claims and relationships before producing a traceable report. The README documents additional capabilities such as institutional correspondence, photo research, privacy safeguards and PDF output. Some domain workflow details are documented but their implementation was not sampled; those links are cited to the README.
