Have you inherited a collection of old family photos? Will they end up in the dumpster or antique shop? Or will they become the treasured collection that your family will enjoy and learn from for years to come?
We’ll talk about how to organize, identify and gather new research clues from the photos in your collection. Whether there are names on them or not, they are treasures we can learn from. Those old photos can tell some great stories about your family.
Don’t have a photo collection? No worries, we’ll also talk a bit about how to find photos of your ancestors.
