GeneaQuest Conference Attendees


Individual Photo Consultations with The Photo Detective

Got a mystery photo and need some expert advice? 
You can sign up for a 15 minute consultation with Maureen Taylor. 
Because she employs a variety of diagnostic techniques she's known as The Photo Detective.
The Wall Street Journal called her "the nations foremost historical photo detective" and featured an extensive profile of her work.

This opportunity is for GeneaQuest Conference Attendees only!

Once you've registered for a consultation by following the link for Maureen Taylor, here's how the process works:
  • Think about which photos you'd like her to look at. If you have additional information about the pictures please bring that with you.
  • It's helpful to bring a family history chart with you as well.
  • For note taking purposes Maureen suggests making a photocopy of each image and bringing it with you.
