I have just come face-to-face with four of my great grandparents

 

Some genie friends, Janelle and Hillary, told me yesterday about an amazing new process of animating old family photographs. It's called Deep Nostalgia, an online process offered by My Heritage. This process allows you to upload a photo of a person (e.g., one of your ancestors) and the process animates the person's photo. The end result is a short video of the person's face moving with a few little expressions - eyes blinking, head turning, smiling, etc.

So, off I went to meet my maternal great-grandparents. I felt like I came face-to-face today with these people who had all died before I was born.

My mother's mother's parents, Catherine CARRICK and James KINGSBURY

They may have passed away many years ago (in 1912, 1945, 1935 and 1939), but it feels like they came to life again, in a way, today.
