MyHeritage “LiveStory”

LiveStory is a new feature from MyHeritage that allows you to create animated videos of your ancestors telling their life story, using just a still photo and some text. As I have recently been doing some research into the life of my Great-Grandmother I thought I would try out this amazing new feature to introduce her to you. By the way two of her children married members of the Stone family.

Born Margaret Cotton McLachlan, as you will hear she travelled from Scotland to be married to Andrew Hepburn in Bendigo and they had seven children. Her oldest child, James married Margaret Jane Stone, a granddaughter of Thomas and Ann Stone. Later her sixth child Margaret married their grandson Alfred Withers Stone, whose family lived next door to the Hepburns at Woodstock West in Central Victoria.

If you would like to find out more about Margaret Cotton McLachlan you can obtain a copy of “The Hepburns of Gourdie Farm, Woodstock West, Victoria” from Lulu Bookstore at https://www.lulu.com/

Please let me know what you think of “LiveStory” and (hopefully?) of the book. With every good wish. Alex.
