Family History Photo Project

December 28, 2024 by Jill Holman

I have some time this winter break to scan in those old photos. I don’t want them to degrade any further. If I have photos you want, I will be ready to share them soon.

Do you have old photos? Even if your immediate family is not really interested in family history, someone might find them invaluable, like maybe your second or third cousin.

I will circle back later and report on the process and tools I used. Here are some articles to get you started:

  • Have you inherited a messy box of family photos?
  • How to Digitize Old Photos With Your Phone
  • I digitized over 1,800 family photos with this photo scanner — and it’s an absolute workhorse

For now, here is my wish list. These are ancestors where I do not have pictures and they might be out there somewhere:

  • Charles Holman
  • Isaac and Louis Belle Vipond
  • Isaac and Catherine Vipond
  • Lars Fjerstad
  • Buel and Almira Atchison
  • Johan and Anna Laitala
  • Teunis and Elizabeth Middensorp
  • Ubbe Reemts Iwwerks
  • Adeline Caza

If you have any of these photographs, please share them with me!
