This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

AI Corrected Photo ~ Just Wrong

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 36 (OFF TO SCHOOL)


This is a photo of my mom when she was in grade 7, aged 13.


I asked ChatGPT to restore the photo, and received this in reply


I now understand why folks are getting upset when their personal photos are being updated with AI, and re-added to Genealogy Database sites (such as Ancestry).

This photo looks absolutely nothing like my mother.


When AI isn't right!!! 



This is why I search - 


Cause ... 





You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
