Think there are no photos of your ancestors? Think again! Maybe a fire or flood destroyed your family’s photo collection—or perhaps those precious images are sitting in someone else’s attic, guarded by a less-than-cooperative relative. Don’t give up hope. Some of the best photo finds come from outside your known family network. Learn where to look, what to look for, and how to uncover unexpected treasures that bring your ancestors to life.
