Using Photos and Other Images to Enhance Your Family Story - Leo Dougherty
The purpose of this presentation is to help identify and use photos and other visuals to better tell your family story. Perhaps you have old photos that you are wondering about – who are those people and what are the stories behind those faces? This is a challenge to which everyone can relate. Photos of ancestors add a human dimension to their story. We'll explore possible public sources for finding your ancestors’ photos. The possibilities are not limited to photos of people, but also places where they lived, the ships that brought them here, where they served in the military and other life events. In addition to photos there are a variety of other useful images that can be found in historical publications. We will discuss the wide range of sources available for finding these materials that can be included in our family history document.
