In today's issure of the NEHGS newsletter, there is mention of the expertise of Maureen Taylor, called the photo detective. I had her help me out a couple of years ago and could not find her address for a reply to the Iowa List question about an picture from around 1872. And there it is in the newsletter. She is very helpful and pegged my photo which had been mis-identified as around 1839 as being taken during the Civil War based on their clothing style. Her website is photodetective.com She has written some articles in Family Tree magazine too. Hopes this helps those with a question about an old photo of any type.
