How to Identify People in Photographs

Article Abstract:

The author discusses techniques for identifying the people in old family photographs and the approximate dates the pictures were taken. These include the context in which the photo was found, any notes on the back, and any identifying signs in the picture itself. He suggests consulting with relatives in the relevant branch of the family, checking old directories for places and dates of the photographic studio, and studying other photos of known people.
