It can be so simple sometimes. For days you search for certain people, dates or places and you just can’t find anything about them or can’t prove anything in writing. And then a photo falls into your hands and on the back suddenly reveals the solution to the riddle.
Many of our ancestors left notes on the backs of photos. Often, all the names of the people depicted on the reverse side are mentioned on them. Sometimes also a date or a place.
Therefore: Turn the photo around! You never know what you might miss.
