Anyone whose nineteenth-century ancestor was abandoned in infancy or orphaned as a child, knows the challenge of finding information on their lives. We may find a birth registration, but nothing else. Beyond what we find in the records, we also learn of the social challenges that abandoned children faced. The presenter will explore the socio-cultural background and the implications of being a foundling in nineteenth-century Italy and Sicily. Reflecting on research used to construct case studies aids in a discussion of identity, surnames, foster families, the condition of orphanages, and other facets of a foundling’s life that may help enhance your ancestor’s story.

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.
