 Photo by Myriam Zilles on Unsplash I have inherited a photo box full of black and white negatives from the 1910s to 1950s. Most are two inches by four inches and not the standard 35. And of course, now, regular films and negatives are becoming outdated. Are all of these negatives genealogical treasures? No but I was having a challenge sorting through these negatives to determine which ones to convert and print. I recently took a class about converting negatives and wanted to share what I learned. Let’s look.

I hope that you had a great Holiday season with your friends and family. One of my 2024 goals was to update this site with a list of BLOG Topics so that you can find past BLOGS more easily. As you can see, I've added a new page called "BLOG TOPICS" which should make it easier to find articles. One goal down, many more genealogy activities to go. <grin>
I hope you are jotting down your aspirations for this year whether they are related to writing your family story, doing more family research or spending more time on other priorities in your life. I don't do resolutions but instead identify goals for the coming year. I feel like I might have better success! I hope the topics page helps! |
