PhotoDater™ and my old family photos
I am behind in scanning old photos. This past week I added a few and then tried MyHeritiage’s new PhotoDater™. I am not experienced in dating old photos so this helped narrow down some dates and that gave me some new parameters to search. Try it! Read more on the MyHeritage Blog.
