Lost Faces - Photo AlbumsWelcome to a new corner of Olive Tree Genealogy. LOST FACES is my collection of Family Photo Albums. One of my hobbies is going to antique auctions, stores, flea markets and garage sales. Whenever I spot one of those old Photo Albums from the 1800s with family pictures, I have to buy it! I can't bear the thought that the album and photos will be lost or destroyed. Even though they aren't my ancestors, and they can be very expensive, I can't walk away without it.Lost Faces is my way of saving these genealogy treasures and preserving historical documents. I am gradually listing all the albums I have saved, along with the list of photos and other documents (I have albums that contain funeral cards, memorial cards, obituaries, Christmas cards, and hand-written genealogies) and any research I've done on the family.
 I am pleased to now offer individual photographic reproductions for sale! You can purchase a photographic reproduction of any photos from my albums. I am not selling the originals. You can also purchase Memory Books which I have put together from the orginal photo albums. Each Memory Book contains a Table of Contents, List of Photos in the album, a brief history of how and where I found the album, scans of the album itself, scans of the original photos, plus genealogy research I've done on each person, also copies of documents I've found such as census records. I've also included 'chapters' on How to Date Old Photographs, Types of Early Photography (Ambrotypes, Daguerotypes, Tintypes, Cartes de Visites, etc) and how to figure out which is which, and more. Most of the albums I purchase are Civil War era (1860s) so I have also researched and written an explanation of fashion and hairstyles for men, women and children of that time. These articles should help you in dating any old family photos you might have. I'm excited to be able to offer these as the best way to allow all descendants to enjoy these wonderful genealogy and family treasures. Here's a sample of what a Family Memory Book looks like. This is for the Sherwood Hawley Photo Album in Connecticut from the Civil War era. Individual page in the Sherwood Hawley Memory Book
