Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance! MyHeritage LiveMemory, Enabling Photos to Come to Life!

 



 You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 
This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment. 
Share by scrolling 
down and add your story to the comments section, or you may also put a link to a blog post telling about what had you dancing this week.

              My Happy Dance Moment:
Making my family photos move with the new LiveMemory feature!
A new AI tool from MyHertitage was announced a couple of days ago, and it is so much fun to play with. Using the app on an Android or iPhone, upload a photo and wait for an email with the photo now turned into a short video.

Here's a some examples from my photos uploaded to LiveMemory:


My parents. Both deceased. I miss them so much. 
It was fun to see this photo come to life.



Helping my dad cross off a bucket list item.
 Swimming with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove in Florida.






It even works with family group photos! 
My Thames family from Richland County, SC.




This turned out so funny. My great grandmother Beulah Mae (Price) Roberts, walks right out of the photo!




Blanche and Annie Thames, my great grandmother and her sister appear to be a bit irritated with each other in this one.

          


My dad and me on a swing.


And me as a baby!

These aren't perfect and some photos work better than others, but it's so much fun to play with and see your ancestors move!

Want to try it?

Here's the link to find out more and download the app.


Have fun with this new AI feature that has so many in the genealogy community doing the happy dance this week!
