31 Days to Better Genealogy – Day 15: Label Your Photographs

Amy Johnson Crow has been sharing on her Generations Cafe Facebook Group a prompt each day for May. They are based off of her book 31 Days to Better Genealogy that you can buy on Amazon (shown below).

Day 11 of 31 Days to Better Genealogy is: Label your Photographs. I really like how Amy talked about even if you only get 10 pictures labeled, that that would be 10 more labeled pictures that you had before.

I have received many of the family’s photo albums and in an effort to preserve them and label them, I have been scanning and uploading the photos to Ancestry and FamilySearch. I really like the FamilySearch Memories area because you can tag specific faces within the photo that links to their profile page.
