See the <a href="https://www.geneamusings.com/2015/07/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks-week-83-98.html" style="color: #221199; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">genealogical sketch for Cornelius Feather</a> for the information that I have about his life. </span></b></p><p style="background-color: white;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The maiden name of the last wife of Cornelius Feather was Mary Partridge (1792-1855). She is named as Mary Feather in the first record with her name on it in the 1850 U.S. Census, age 58, born in Pennsylvania. If age 58, she was born in about 1792. Now she is named as Mary Feather[s] in the 1830 land deed found. Mary's parents are Thomas Partridge (1758-1828) and Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814). <span style="color: red;">But is she the first wife of Cornelius Feather and mother of Sarah Feather?</span></span></b></p><p style="background-color: white;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">After some thought, I realized I had a problem because my 3rd great-grandmother Sarah Feather (1804-1948) was born when Mary (Partridge) Feather would have been about age 12, and when Cornelius was about 27 years old.

It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">=============================================</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">The URL for this post is: <a href="https://www.geneamusings.com/2024/03/added-and-updated-familysearch-record_01350149351.html">https://www.geneamusings.com/2024/03/added-and-updated-familysearch-record_01350149351.html</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Copyright (c) 2024 Randall J.

He is best known as the host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962–1992). Carson received six Emmy Awards, the Television Academy's 1980 Governor's Award, and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.</b></span></blockquote><blockquote><b style="color: #800180;">During World War II, Carson served in the Navy. After the war, Carson started a career in radio. He moved from radio to TV and followed Jack Paar as the host of the late night talk show,<i> Tonight.</i> Although his show was already successful by the end of the 1960's, during the 1970's, Carson became an American icon and remained so even after his retirement in 1992.

The first announcement was <span style="font-family: inherit;">in <a href="https://www.geneamusings.com/2021/02/myheritage-introduces-deep-nostalgia-to.html" style="color: #221199; text-decoration-line: none;">MyHeritage Introduces Deep Nostalgia™ to Animate Your Family Photos</a> (dated 25 February 2021).

I tried that out also, and created a story with my mother's avatar speaking (not in her exact voice), with a script and narrating several photographs. T</span></b><b>hen had my heart problems and had forgotten about it.</b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;">1) The current MyHeritage DeepStory storymaking feature, which can use photographs and a speaking avatar, is called DeepStory. </span> It appears that "LiveStory" was renamed as "DeepStory" back in 2022. A MyHeritage Knowledge Base article and video are in </span><a href="https://education.myheritage.com/webinar/deepstory-your-visual-storytelling-tool/" target="_blank">DeepStory: Your Visual Storytelling Tool</a> for more information. This is artificial intelligence for genealogy.</b></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">2) Today I took a look at DeepStory again, both on the website app (<a href="https://www.myheritage.com/deepstories/">https://www.myheritage.com/deepstories/</a>) and on the mobile app (under Photos on the main menu of the MyHeritage app, available in the App Stores).</span> A MyHeritage subscriber who has uploaded person photos (preferably full face) can let the website or mobile app use one of their photographs as the avatar and the information in the family tree profile for the subject person (e.g., birth, death, marriages, parents, spouses, siblings, census, military, etc. records) to create a DeepStory for the person of interest. The audio and video for the person created hy the app uses the chosen avatar who speaks the created script with facial and mouth movements. </b></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">3) I created several DeepStories today - here is one for my maternal grandmother, Emily Kremp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977):</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy12S8O9GAR96el5NINgssyPoPsyS4KEjfOzo-lgjAQPBVf45fkGqxEgFMfIhwlI3Uab6gqQBbJfTo' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><b>That mp4 file is about 1:47 minutes long and is 14.7 mb in file size. I added no extra photographs and did not edit the paragraphs. My grandmother's avatar speaks throughout in a voice that is not my grandmother's (I do not have an audio file of her voice). It turns out the user can listen to different voice samples and pick an appropriate one.</b><p></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">4) In addition, a user can edit the text paragraphs created by MyHeritage DeepStory (which are in several paragraphs) and can upload photographs to illustrate each paragraph.</span> I did that for my mother, Betty Virginia (Carringer) Seaver (1919-2002):</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwFvWEyCONPiG6arMFguh_BOEj_NNEjKRTyoW_NVEIsZLiVx-NnePl1KDrrhbHLaGiyxuzhh7JJd7M' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><b>That mp4 file is about 3:00 minutes long and is 24.1 mb in size. It has another voice, but is not my mother's voice (I do not have an audio file of her voice).</b><p></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">5) The only problem I had with doing these audio/video stories of my ancestors initially is that I had to use a photograph of the person that MyHeritage chose, not one of my own choosing from my MyHeritage Photos page. </span> Some of the chosen photographs were not large enough or clear enough to enable DeepStory to work. I have been unable to change some of the avatar photographs.</b></p><p><b>I was able to create the DeepStory audio/video on the web app with the chosen (by MyHeritage) avatar photograph, and then could change the avatar to one of my choosing from my computer files (but not from my MyHeritage Photos for some reason). I could never get the mobile app to select photos from the MyHeritage Photos page - only from my iPhone photos, which didn't have the photos I wanted to use.</b></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">6) Having made the DeepStory audio and video, the mp4 file was sent to my email by MyHeritage after the video was rendered (it usually took 5 to 10 minutes to receive it).</span> I could then download it to a computer file and store it in a safe place where it will be backed up. I can then upload it to my blog post (as above), to my Google Drive, to my FOREVER account, and to my YouTube channel (I haven't done this yet, but I will!). </b></p><p><b>The mp4 file also is placed on the user's DeepStory page on the web app and the mobile app. Here is a screencap of my DeepStory page:</b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfSaTpEeK9811AR4xpCstogFTZiIQixVGs5eGAwNPXu_Rwj44FSH6ANBFKegpkcrm71XLgKeFFwwtiXW9CO54nps31Vw6DqXyfTxY0n1JhePgvEw5_PRY6NFgBA7bcQqxEI-JGEw755ECVoQ4CfuLa8zNIbQTtxbApHR8xKf9rReUaQmHpef93/s1920/deepstory%20page.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfSaTpEeK9811AR4xpCstogFTZiIQixVGs5eGAwNPXu_Rwj44FSH6ANBFKegpkcrm71XLgKeFFwwtiXW9CO54nps31Vw6DqXyfTxY0n1JhePgvEw5_PRY6NFgBA7bcQqxEI-JGEw755ECVoQ4CfuLa8zNIbQTtxbApHR8xKf9rReUaQmHpef93/w640-h360/deepstory%20page.png" width="640" /></a></b></div><p></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">7) I don't know if I can delete them if I want to or if I can create another one when I have more information.</span> I can always change the avatar, add more paragraphs manually, and add more paragraph photos to an existing DeepStory. </b></p><p><b>I don't know if there is a maxmum length to the audio/visual file on MyHeritage. There may be.</b></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">8) The biggest time factor in doing this (at least for me) is getting the story created (it took several minutes to create it on MyHeritage web app), and changing the avatar photograph (perhaps two minutes if it's already on my computer).</span> Editing the paragraphs for my mother's DeepStory took about ten minutes for eight paragraphs of text). Adding a photo to each paragraph took a minute or less, as long as I had the photo on my computer.</b></p><p><b><span style="color: red;">9) I really like this DeepStory audio/visual feature because it tells a story of a person with photographs. </span>I don't find the animations weird or creepy. The mouth movements are, in my opinion, realistic. I may experiment with the voices - for instance, I'm sure that my Richman/Richmond great-grandparents had an English accent! </b></p><p><b>I will be doing more of the DeepStories but I don't have many photos before 1870 or so! And I will post them on Facebook from time to time, adding them to my YouTube channel, and passing them to my daughters and grandchildren.</b></p><div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">==========================================</span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><div id="m_558595241312220064hs_cos_wrapper_hs_email_body_old1" style="line-height: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Disclosure: I receive a complimentary subscription to MyHeritage, and have received other material consideration in past years.
