Last year we took a decision to take a five year subscription with 'My Heritage' genealogical and family history software. We took this decision on the basis that this software, while owned and developed in Israel, is focused more on European ancestry which most of ours is. Through their Smart Match system we have discovered many ancestors and relatives back into the 1500's. This year we have also both submitted samples for DNA analysis and already this is connecting us with many cousins back a few generations and confirming relative links. Currently our combined 'My Heritage' database numbers 6,752 relatives. We have recently been using a new 'My Heritage' feature called 'Deep Story' to create up to 10 min. videos of direct line ancestors. This software automatically creates a video based on data: genealogical, photographic, documentary, etc. relating to a given relative/ancestor. It then provides options to create text linked to other photos/documents which will change the narrative to suit. We demonstrate below with the video we put together for Margaret's mother Helen Milne (nee Walker). Two other things are happening this year.
