#AncestryHour I saw a suggestion for tough cases where you have a conclusion which is different from what most people have posted: write up a proof argument/summary and attach it to the person's profile as a Story. That way the hint engine will see it and push it to other users.

#Genealogy Encouraged by an AI webinar by Thomas MacEntee, I took a DVD of my cousin's emotional Holocaust testimony from audio to transcription to translation to formatted Word document of her #FamilyHistory experiences in a matter of minutes. Wow. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2025/09/vide...
