*Insert groan here* That’s how many of us feel when it comes time to compile all our photographs and start making the family scrapbook.

Let’s get started!

Who were the women wearing stunning, full-skirted dresses? Who were the children with the solemn faces and neatly curled hair? Might the portraits of bewhiskered men have been a last memento before they left home for battle?
