Are you sure? Did you look under your Ancestor's LifeStory, and scroll down to residences, birth, marriages, and death? :)

I'm cautious but open to AI. I think it has a place in genealogy and the possibilities are so endless. I don't have it yet, but I'm looking forward to playing around with it!

Are you sure you don't have it yet? Did you look under your Ancestor's LifeStory, and scroll down to residences, birth, marriages, and death? I'm cautious as well; you can't be sure the info is correct or where it came from, but you can always research it and compare, along with maybe just using the promts to give you an idea of some things you can include in the social history of your family history. Definitely play around with it if and when you get it! ;)

This does look like a possible short cut for some timeline details. I wonder how accurate they are compared to what you already know about your family...or what might appear in newspapers from the era.

It's a possibility for many things; hopefully, as time goes by, it will become more accurate (in the *Note section above). ;)

Have you checked under your ancestor's "LifeStory"? Yes, I agree..."Certainly the majority of the "stories" generated by AI have been full of errors...". ;)

Not available on either my Ancestry.com trees or my AncestryDNA profiles. Appears to be in beta testing and not available to every subscriber.

Yes, Mark...As mentioned above, it is in BETA mode, and not all may have it just yet. Keep checking back in both places where it is offered, as many who did not have it, at or since the time of this post, now do. :)

Can I remove the green Beta bars from the final LifeStory printout? They detract from the story greatly lengthen the document.

My relatives are Black but the AI information is clearly aimed at a majority of white demographics. Please include the information regarding black ancestors of the past.
