Thank you Stephanie.

I also have a lot of epubs Jan, they're a great idea when short of space. I'm glad P&S offer them and they were written into the contract for this.

This spring, new AI photo tools arrived. Genealogists experimented. Then quickly we realized: these tools don't "restore" historical photos—they may fabricate new faces.

By August, these "restorations" were everywhere, unlabeled, corrupting our shared historical record. #genealogy
