SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING PEDIGREE AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP INFORMATION FROM DOCUMENTS

摘要

A computer-implemented method for extracting information about individuals from a family history document includes applying optical character recognition (OCR) to a digital image of a family history document to create an OCR copy, identifying a person's name in the digital image, extracting name data from the OCR copy representing the name, confirming accuracy of the extracted name data, and publishing the extracted name data in a searchable format.
