Presented by Gene Gutknecht, Englewood Society

Learn how to take those photos and save them as JPG files, and how to enhance them if they’re over- or under- exposed. Hear about free programs to use in this process that you can download from the Internet. Never again chastise yourself for not getting it right!

Tips & Tricks |
Major ports of entry were Baltimore, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and New Orleans.
Newspapers are wonderful Hometown Records. In addition to looking for obituaries, be sure to look for articles about special events... births, Baptisms/Christenings, weddings and pre-nuptial events (bridal showers, etc.), birthdays (parties), anniversaries, etc.
Town and county histories can be invaluable to form a picture of your ancestors in the time they lived in the area.. |
