The MyHeritage offer was extended!
|
Hi, Reader, Quick genealogy heads-up. The MyHeritage discount I mentioned earlier this week was supposed to end today but they’ve extended it one more day. If you have been thinking about trying MyHeritage, you now have until Thursday, March 12 to use the 50% off Complete Plan offer. One thing that caught my attention at RootsTech is MyHeritage’s new AI transcription tool (Scribe AI). It transcribes and translates handwritten records, documents and photos. My research has stalled more than once while I looked for someone who could translate a record or photo. The Complete Plan also covers access to their historical record collections, Smart Matches (which connect your tree to other researchers working the same lines), and photo tools like colorization and animation. If you want to take a look, you can grab the extended offer here:
Just wanted to make sure you knew the deadline moved. Lisa |

But, all of the videos are there. :) The loss to many of my digital assets was not permanent, and I did have backups in place. But this experience got my attention. It also made one thing very clear:...
Hi, Reader, A quick update on something you may have already noticed. My YouTube channel was recently hijacked. I'm working directly with Google and YouTube to get it restored — these things move slowly, but I'm on it. I'll let you know when it's back up. In the meantime, the website is running normally and everything there is fully accessible. Including the minimalist genealogy toolkit. A few of you had trouble reaching it recently — thank you for your patience while I got it sorted. Here's...
Hi, Reader, Ten years ago, I was a "paper based" researcher. Yes, I was moving toward a completely digital system, but I still had a lot of paper. Plus, I had nn elaborate filing system that needed its own management system. Most of the paper is gone now. Good riddance. What's left on my desk is a small collection of tools that actually earn their place, and one upgrade I wish I'd made years earlier. That upgrade? A second monitor. Genealogy is essentially a constant comparison exercise....
