Hi List, I have a tintype of a lady that I am sure is in my ggrandmother's Abernathy family. If she were smiling she would look just like my cousin, Helen. Helen is on the mtDNA side of our grandmother, I am on Daddy's side. This tintype might be dated by the clothes and hat in the picture. You can see tiny white circles under her arms and beside her head which I think were supports to keep her from moving while the picture was being taken. I guard this picture. When I am gone from the house overnight I take it with me. I am glad to know it can be scanned. Does anyone know of a book on how to identify the age of someone or time the picture was taken by the clothes hats of the era? I would appreciate any help dating this picture.
