Abstract

A computing server may receive genealogical records that include historical records of deceased individuals. The computing server may normalize the genealogical records into normalized genealogical records. Normalizing the genealogical records may include converting a text string of a genealogical record into a standardized format. The computing server may stitch the normalized genealogical records into a plurality of clusters. Each cluster corresponds to an individual and includes one or more genealogical records associated with the individual. The computing server may identify a life-event record that is commonly associated with a subset of clusters, the life-event record indicating that a plurality of deceased individuals are connected through a non-familial relationship in a life event documented by the life-event record. The computing server may cause a graphical user interface to display a representation of a historical network among the plurality of deceased individuals that are connected through the non-familial relationship.
