As a family tree researcher, one of the things I cherish most is when I can get a picture to match up with a name. All of a sudden, I can see the war records were right! So-and-so DOES seem to have brown hair (at least as much as a black-and-white photo can reveal) and he does have a slender build. Photos are part of what brings a person to life for me and really make them a part of the bigger story of my family history.
