This week we had a special presentation via Zoom from Kate Kelley all the way from Massachusetts. She is known as the Photo Angel because of her genealogical project. She rescues labeled photographs from antique stores, researches the name and attempts to return them to a descendant.
Kate told us that she has been interested in family history since childhood and started her project after finding several photos unrelated to family in her collection. She uses Ancestry, MyHeritage and FindAGrave to hunt for similar names and photos.
Kate encourages other genealogists to join her project as a way to give back to the genealogy community. You can find more about The Photo Angel by searching for that title on Facebook.
