Persons

Visual Ancestor enables members to identify persons in photographs and to record basic genealogical information about them, including relationships -- all of which can be used to build-out a family. This is another tool people can use to preserve their visual family history, to preserve basic genealogy of a family surrounding a collection of their photographs, and to enable others to potentially find their ancestors among your own set of contributed photographs.

You may browse from all persons listed in the left pane, and when you select one, their information including a list of photographs in which they have been identified will appear here in the Person Viewer. For members who are logged in, your own identified persons (if you have any), and their photographs, will be listed right below this instruction as well as a button to create a new person.

Notes about Personal Identities

Visual Ancestor does not allow personal information and the identities of a living person to be published as part of our person identification feature. In addition, members must agree to share only photographs that they are entitled to share, are reasonably believed to be free of copyright (pre-WWII is a general rule), and that are not of anyone presently living -- at least not without their permission. Visual Ancestor reserves the right to remove any information that seems to not comply with these policies.

Notes about No Associated Photographs

The persons list displays all persons in our genealogical database -- those who are identified in photographs and those who are being used purely for their genealogical information to relate family members together. Not only so, but members can choose to make their photographs private. Therefore if there are no associated photographs for this person, it is either because there just are not any, or they are private.
