This layout is for the Journaling Challenge for August - "All of us have spent countless hours searching for the documented facts. Do you have a success story to share? For the August challenge, I would like to see a layout created featuring a photo of the ancestor, the information you found and how and where you found it." You can read all the details here in the forum.


This layout tells the story of a relative. We found the top photo in a box of family photos and there was no name on it. For years it's been sitting on my hard drive with the filename, "UnknownTintype". A random genealogy search unearthed another photo of the same man and we were able to link up who he was and how he was related.


Journaling:


This top photo was a tintype in a box of my grandfather's sister's pictures. There was no name on it, so all we knew was that this man was somehow related to one of my grandparents.
One day while doing research online, my cousin stumbled across the bottom photo & thought he looked familiar and then remembered the "unknown man". He emailed me and asked if I thought they could be the same person.
I pulled both photos into my scrapbook program and layered one over the other and turned down the opacity on the top one. His physical features lined up exactly, so in spite of his different hair styles, we were able to determine that our "unknown man" was Oliver Hazard "Pat" Perry, a second cousin to our Great Great Grandmother, Elmira Francis Perry Hall.
