Immagini di Antenati: Photos of Our Ancestors
presented by
Michael Cassara
Photographs can bring our ancestors to life in exciting and moving ways. In some cases, a family photo may be the only remaining evidence of what someone looked like, while in other cases, they can provide significant genealogical clues, helping us to overcome those pesky brick walls. This talk will delve into all aspects of using historical photos in our genealogical research, along with introducing methods of *finding* photos of ancestors, and discussion of the very real challenges of photo organization.
This webinar will be streaming via Zoom, or you can attend the Zoom presentation in-person at Bethpage Library.
