Wonderful news & I do remember. I’m always amazed at how one small record leads to extensive research. Good luck with the presentation.

I think this is an issue as people look to AI to be the “magic bullet” that solves every problem. eg How can you know if a transcription & translation from one language to another is correct if you don’t know the language(s).

I agree @emollick.bsky.social and think we can achieve much more if we acknowledge what humans are good at and what AI is good at. Together is better!

Highly recommend this book as a great way to learn about Governor King as well as the female convict experience. Twists and turns all the way. #australia #convict www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/...

Networks: What networks would you want to create for your ancestors? For me it would be for my 4th g grandmother who was a convict who disappears.
