Genealogy Corner Main Page

Short message from the desk of Claire Santos-Daigle. 

Some of the links below, direct you to items found throughout the entire site, that are of specific interest to Genealogist and others can only be navigated to, from this page. We separated the two sections because of the overwhelming information that would exhaust the general public with short attention spans and lack of interest in reading details that wouldn't interest them. If there is any related topic or ideas for this section, you think we should include here  just let us know. and we may research it for you.  This site is constantly evolving, and being re-evaluated for accurate information. Please tell us if there are any discrepancies.  We understand that you enjoy the hunt for information that may lead you to that next great find, so now, for your reading and viewing pleasure, here is your corner of our site. Enjoy!

Lost and Found Photographs Identified

Eight Antique Photo Albums and Individuals 

Some where on this planet are the descendants of the people in the following vintage scrapbooks

and it could be you!  

Photos Made Perfect is making an effort to return lost antique photo albums to their descendants. We are hopeful and prefer to find the descendants of this book, with that said, if someone shows an interest in these photo for any other reason than genealogy, we will consider the opportunity to make better use of them. This applies especially to the photo albums that did not have names tied to them, making next to impossible to return to the descendents.  

These photographs are interesting for many reasons.  You may be searching for a surname that may be in these books.  They are an opportunity to study for photographic styles, an interest to costume designers and home decorators.  These books are a collection of cabinet cards and tintypes.  Teachers can direct students to this site, to see why or how we know so much about times past, by studying photographs.  They are useful for photo dating as well. You may be interested in finding photos by a particular photographer from the 1800"s to help you with photo dating.  We listed the names of photographers and their addresses found on the backs of these photos. Many of the images have names and dates on them.  Give us a call. 619-397-7600. If you are looking for a specific subject give us a call, we just might have what your looking for in our archives not shown on this site.

Any one that has found photographs with names on them and would like to display them here, are welcome.  If someone contacts us about a photo you placed, we will give them your contact information.  Just e-mail us the photo, give us your contact information and tell us anything you can about the photo would be helpful.
