Identify YOUR Ancestor in That Photograph!

 

multiple old family photographs

 

Beginning to research our family’s genealogy seemed to be the signal for the relatives to clean out their closets and under the beds. After visiting family members, I would return home with boxes of photographs and family keepsakes. Turns out my ancestors were pack rats. Thank goodness they were! They just were not the best organizers when it came to their photographs and papers. As a result, the photographs and papers were complete disarray. Most smelled so musty the boxes had to be opened outside infresh air on the deck. The photographs were not labeled and no longer in their albums.

Would I ever know who was in these photographs?!

I set about to learn about vintage photographs and my ancestors. As I talked with other genealogy researchers, I realized many of you also have unlabeled photographs of our ancestors. Worse, you have no idea how to go about identifying the individuals. I wanted to share the strategies I used to identify those unknown ancestors with you.
