If you have old family photos that have been passed down, they can be a key to figuring out who is in the pictures. This particular photo was of my paternal grandmother when she was about 5 years old, years later after building my tree I knew now that the baby was her younger sister Peg and the older lady was her grandmother, my great-grandmother who was born in the 1870s.

Identifying family members and dating pictures is an exciting part of research and a offers a glimpse into the past.

This is my great-grandfather in Shotts, Scotland in 1932. For the 20 years I had the photo, I never knew who the child was until last year when I came across some additional photos that the same child was in and I was able to confirm that it was the first born child of a specific great-aunt, now I have a face to go with the name!

Knowing these details also helps date the photo, in this case I knew the child was born in 1930 and was about 2 years old at the time.
