PHOTOGRAPHERS

 

Photographs of ancestors are real treasures, and knowing when and where the pictures were taken can help with research.  Below is the beginning of a listing of photographers and their addresses taken from various Nevada, MO city and county directories.  Additional information on photographers will be added.  As early newspapers are reviewed for advertisements, that information will also be added to this page.  If you have a picture taken in Nevada and you know the specific date, please email us with the photographer's information.
