Matching Faces Through Time

On the podcast episode, Nicole shares her experience identifying people in old family photos, specifically those of her great-great-grandparents, Daniel O'Connell Elder and Jessie Estelle (Ross) Elder, and their children. Nicole begins by describing a 1914 photo where only a few people are identified. She uses letters and information shared from a relative who was a DNA match to figure out who some of the people are. Then, Nicole discusses a tool called Related Faces, an online service that uses AI to identify people in photos. Diana explains that Related Faces works by analyzing facial features and creating a numerical signature for each face. The system then compares these signatures to find matches. Nicole tests this tool with more photos of the Elder family and demonstrates how she uses it to connect images of Charlie at different ages and to identify other siblings. Listeners will learn how to use both documentary evidence and AI tools to identify individuals in old photographs, which can greatly assist in genealogical research.
