    1. LEARNING FROM PHOTOGRAPHS -- ILLINOIS INTEREST ON THE 12TH
    2. Kristy Gravlin
    3. WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH? Charles Caughlan will share many "tricks of the trade" on Saturday, March 12, 9:30--11:30, at the Higgins Room, GFO Even unidentified old photos can help with your family research. There are clues hiding in there, if we just look carefully. When were those clothes in style? How old might the subject be? What else do you see in the picture that will help you date the photo? You might even be able to figure out WHO is sitting in the chair! Charlie has asked that you bring along an old photo or two that can be used by the group to practice on as the various suggestions are discussed. He's hoping for a variety of time periods, of course. Anyone interested in photo identification is invited to attend this meeting. Bring a friend or two if you know someone who would find this class helpful to their research. Just show up at 9:30 and jump right into the group! You'll be welcomed! Kristy (who is watching it snow in Illinois right now!)
