8 December 2018 @2pm
Holiday Meeting- Members are invited to bring finger food type snacks. Please submit an undated family image you are curious about which appears to be from the mid-1800s to around 1920 for discussion by the group. Submit your photo, including its size, to Raylene Hiatt at rjunkins@cableone.net by 1 December and we will discuss the observations that may lead to a confident date range.

Photos will be projected on the screen so everyone can see the photo and we can learn together. So send your photos and bring your 'cookies' to the December meeting. Please add a NAGS image for the subject on your submissions to Raylene.

17 November 2018 @ 2pm.
D. Sue Kissel will discuss " Guidelines for Dating Early Photographs."
Anyone who "dabbles" in genealogy collects images of family. To see their physical forms can be magical. Not everyone is lucky enough to have photographs with a complete label - who, what, when, and where this photograph was taken. Photographs are artifacts and documents that can be used to form the basis of conclusions in genealogical research. The same questions that Suzanne Brayer posed about written documents also apply to images. Sue Kissel, a long time avid genealogist, will discuss some guidelines for dating early photographs - perhaps knowing an approximate when may help sort out the who.
most of us, represents the 'melting pot' of American culture.

She is the past President of the Family History Center of Arizona, a member of The American Council of Professional Genealogists, as well as numerous local and national societies. She has taught genealogy classes and spoken to numerous groups throughout Arizona. She is a lecturer, teacher and genealogist with over 25 years' experience.
