Photogenealogy is a unique blend of historical analysis and genealogical discovery that brings old photographs to life by uncovering their hidden stories. By examining the visual and technical elements within an image—such as the clothing styles, advancements in photography technology, and even the distinctive characteristics of specific photographic processes—photogenealogy offers precise insights into when a photo was likely taken.
Single photo assessment
$10
A single photo assessment is a detailed analysis of an individual photograph to determine its historical context. By examining elements in the photo, I estimate the photo's timeframe, often narrowing it down to within one to three years. The assessment is a one-page report that provides the estimated date alongside a clear explanation of the reasoning, supported by historical references and visual evidence. This service enriches genealogical research by placing the photograph within a precise timeline, helping to uncover the stories of ancestors and connect generations.
Multiple photographs assessment
$100+
A multi-photo assessment is a comprehensive and customized analysis of 10 or more photographs, designed to uncover their historical context and enrich your family history. Each photo is carefully examined for visual and technical details—such as clothing, photographic techniques, and contextual elements—to estimate its likely timeframe. The findings are compiled into a detailed report, providing the estimated dates for each image along with the reasoning behind them. This service offers a deeper narrative, connecting your collection of photographs into a cohesive timeline that reveals the stories of your ancestors and their lives through the years.
