#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Another Ancestry feature in beta is "AI Stories," hints that come w/ audio explanations + written background. The only way to access "AI Stories" is if you receive a hint email, so watch for it. Have you seen this? My take: climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/02/ance...
Ancestry "AI Stories" in Beta
Genealogy research and commentary by Marian Burk Wood, speaker and author of "Planning a Future for Your Family's Past," available from Amazon.com.

My #book on #WifeSelling describes how when young people moved to towns they often married in haste and fell out so some couples chose to sell the wife to her new #beau. Also describes the use of #ScoldsBridles. In all formats from physical & online stores. #WomensHistory #Familyhistory
