𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹 - - A photo preserves a moment in time. Photographs tell visual stories, ignite memories and document periods of history for recall by present and future generations.

While tracing my own Greenidge family history, I discovered an important childhood photo of two siblings - one of whom I never met in person😔.

Had it not been for this photo found, I would be without an image which show her child-like facial features.

Though old, scratched, faded and damaged, this single family photo is of much sentimental value - rich with information.

With some technical skill, access to computer editing apps, including use of A.I supporting technology, I made it my personal mission and passion to digitally restore this old photo.

The repair project was one of patience and LOVE; trusting the process to produce an enhanced facial image of the two siblings, giving a much cleaner, pleasing photo.

𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦: As we engage in our individual family history research, understand that much information can be gleaned from photos of the distant past. At times, a photo(s) will not always be presented immediately. After conversation and questioning an old photo may emerge. Relatives may not immediately realize they have pictures which could aid your research.

Be prepared to ask questions and go look among relatives and friends for possible photos. There may me a photo(s) somewhere or with someone(s).

Have repaired/restored/preserved, any old family photos discovered - for access by younger members of the family, yet to be born.

- 𝙈𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨! :-) Some points to note, when researching family - Weddings bring two separate families together in celebration. It is true, the union of two people is an important aspect of family which cannot be ignored. The date of marriage is one of significance in the family history research process. Marriage facilitates the legal change of the bride's last name to that of her husband i.e if such is her choice.

A wife may choose to maintain her maiden name for particular reasons. Should she follow tradition and adopt the surname of her husband, she may carry her maiden name alongside her husband's surname (Double Barrel e.g Greenidge-Selman) or she may drop her maiden name granted at birth e.g Greenidge and reflect her husband's name on the island's marriage register and her official documents post marriage e.g ID Card, marriage certificate, academic certificates awarded post-marriage e.g Frances Grant.

To think that one may not be your blood relative because they carry a different surname, may serve as a derailment in Tracing one's family.

Remember, pay careful attention to surnames of adult females, in particular. Consider if they are or were married. Note that if the married couple birthed children after marriage, that child or children will likely carry the surname of the Union. The bloodline of the wife still follows through the children of the marriage, though they carry last names different to their mother's maiden name.

This observation of marriage and its impact on surname is crucial in Tracing one's bloodline or even health research into the origins and development of genetic diseases within a family. Be careful to probe beyond surnames when seeking to discover family.

The marriage of Frances (nee Greenidge) and Conswheel Grant has officially joined two separate families together - :-) Greenidge/Grant (in-laws)
