What is and isn’t okay to use from social media (in my humble opinion) I want to make the Price family website as interesting and inviting as possible, so I try to include photographs wherever I can. It’s a big help that there are a ton of photos out there in cyberspace. Many of my […]| The Prices

I recently learned how to colourize photographs using software developed by Jason Antic and Dana Kelley. It amazed me how it was able to bring some of my old black and white photos to life. I couldn’t wait to share the results with you. The software isn’t perfect. It seems to think that everybody’s eyes […]| The Prices

Hi, Price cousins, Here’s the question I’ve been grappling with lately: how does a family history website like this one guarantee that it respects the privacy of living family members like you?
