Good Idea!!! Sally Label and Date Those Photos Labeling photos, not only identifying persons but dates as well, can help a genealogist greatly. While I working on his genealogy, my ex-husband gave me several old photos (1885-1930). Some were labeled, but many were not. There was one of his mother in a daygown and written on the back was Lucille....July 14, 1909, age 6 months." Not only did we know who the individual in the image was, but also when the photo was taken. Several months later he brought me a plastic bag with old clothing in it. Unpacking these garments, we found old Christening gowns and one very nice daygown. Upon closer inspection I recognized that dress. It was the dress in the picture of Lucille dated July 14, 1909. Now at least I had one dress dated. Since my granddaughter, Lily, (Lucille's great-granddaughter who she never met) would be turning 6 months soon, my daughter and I had her picture taken in the dress and even posed her to match her great-grandmother's pose in the old photo. Now I make sure to tell everyone to date even the professional pictures they have taken.
