beautifully written

Thank you Anne. These vignettes were easy to create with my ancestor interview questions setting the scene, then telling the story in Harriett's own voice. Well, as near as I could get it with AI assistance.

This was beautifully imagined. I felt Harriet's grief.

What a great way to explore ancestors. Our family trees are so much more than a collection of facts. I love this approach. Well done.

This an interesting way to look into a part of our ancestors life that we just take for granted. I'll give this idea a try with my great grandmother who lost her father in a tragic train accident.

I started by gathering some questions for my ancestors in collaboration with Claude. Then chose 10 each for a group of four. Harriett was one of the 4 and this series was born. I have heaps of chapters now, so can dip into these frequently.

Great idea. I'll give that a try while I have a Claude sub.
