There are a couple of quick lessons from this 1941 high school year book picture of my aunt sitting at her classroom desk at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois. Yearbooks are not just for students. Teachers, administrators, and other staff members may have their pictures or other information included in them. OCR reading of text may not interpret names correctly. In this case, the automatic reading of the text thought her last name was “Habben-Homemaking.” It was just Habben. We could add “keep your desk clean” as another tip, but for many of us that’s a lost cause. There’s still time to join me in my upcoming webinar on using GedMatch.com and DNAPainter. Join us!
