Discovered today Ancestry's new 'Recognise Ancestors' feature: the idea is that you can select a face from an uploaded photo which you are trying to identify, and Ancestry will scan other members' uploaded photos to try and identify a match.
It's obviously nascent technology, and I'd say "mixed success" is a generous assessment.
Of genealogically inconsequential interest is that it can identify some near doppelgängers - attached is a great-aunt, born in Kent in 1879 (on the right), which Ancestry has suggested could be what appears to be an earlier century Prussian woman in someone ele's tree. The likeness is indeed uncanny, in my opinion at least!
Any successes with this feature?
