Photos of Ancestors?

Post by matt_som »

Hi all,


I was wondering does anyone know of any database that may contain photos of my Italian Ancestors? I would absolutely love to see what some of them looked like! :D


Kind regards and thanks,


Matt

I think the best bet is through Ancestry.com! It's the most used site and that's how I've gotten photos. I've gotten them from relatives who posted them there.

Hi, I'm using ancestry.com, and got lot's of photo's from relatives I met, but mostly through facebook... I'm still trying to find a photo of my great-grandmother though. Good luck with your search!

I would suggest trying to search for relatives (such as distant cousins you may not have met before) on Facebook to find people who may have old family photos. You never know what someone may have in their attic or in some scrapbook!
Interested in the surnames Liberati, Altiero, and Gulfo. Also interested in Italy during World War II.

Perhaps also facebook? I searched Caruso and found a family group with photos. I got in touch with the admin as one of the relatives was the double of mine....so much so I thought it was her, though the age and time was wrong...

Worth looking and any connection may lead to more information. ..?

I also retouched old pics to remove creases and love the result. Good luck!
Grazie Patrizia
