DearREADERS,
Following yesterday’s blog entry about the proposed old military photo book planned by the editors of Family Chronicle magazine, several folks wrote to me personally to ask about the Dating Old Photographs series. My DearREADERS are quite correct -- Ol’ Myrt here should have included a link to those two fine books.
I remember when “Dating Old Photographs” first came out as an article in Family Chronicle because it made a big splash with our local genealogy society members. And it seems we’ve each inherited a slew of unidentified old family photos. The books provide clues about clothing styles, poses, hairstyles, and mounting material to identify the ancestral image.
In fact, a quick check today of the Family Chronicle website tells me the books are currently out of print in book format, but available in CD format:

Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
