• How to find who in the family has the family photographs… and how to get them to share them!
• Online and offline places to search for old family photographs
• How networking genealogy-style will open up possibilities for finding your ancestors’ photographs
• Searching for old family photographs in uncommon places
• How to find a physical description of your ancestor when no photograph can be found
