hi, i have an old photo which i borrowed from my aunt to scan onto my pc, could anyone date it for me? at first i hought it could be my nan as a baby with her mother, but having looked at later photo's of nans mother[great gran] i can see a resembalance to her,so now i'm wondering could it be her as a baby with her mother? my aunt doesn't know who it is! can i put photo's on this site? i know it is family as there is an address on the back,and i know that is were the lived. chris.

Just out of interest, Norfolk Roots magazine has articles about this this month and also a cd that helps you date photos.

You can buy it on the net if you really want the cd! I just thought it may be of general interest if anyone was really keen! Actually its a very good mag if you have Norfolk ancestors.
