Making Memories (document artifacts, upload files, identify images)

Each ornament on a Christmas tree brings back memories. “It fills the house with family both far away and gone.”  (show some photo ornaments... date the back!)


Why are mom and dad keeping this? Who did it belong to? What is its significance?

take a photo - put what you know about it with the image on family tree.

(examples from recent Rexburg trip: 10 cent bill, Hummels)


Identify images: how to tag people (much better than writing on the back of photos or circling faces!)

example of how someone wrote the names on the back side of the Cardon family photo, but another person transcribing misinterpreted who was whom swapping left and right sides.


You know who your kids are ... but will someone else? (David has difficulties telling our babies apart!)

Examples of matching outfit photos. (AnnElyse thru Claire)


story: the unnamed photo and how it expanded the family tree by 16 names! (Edith and Ollie Anderson)
