The Family Photo Identification Worksheet
The Family Photo Identification Worksheet is designed to help you uncover and preserve the story behind unidentified or partially identified family photographs. Use one sheet for each mystery photo, recording what you know, what you suspect, and the clues you can see, such as clothing, hairstyles, handwriting, locations, studio imprints, vehicles, or other details that may help date or identify the image. Then compare the photo with other family pictures, records, and relatives’ memories, note how confident you are in each identification, and record any follow-up research still needed. Over time, the worksheet helps turn an unknown photograph into a documented piece of your family history.
