Farmers But Not Landowners
--------------------------------------


Presentations on farming ancestors tend to focus on those who owned real
estate. It can be a challenge to research those farmers who rented their
ground, worked as sharecroppers, or those who worked in agriculture as farm
laborers. In this presentation we focus on these types of individuals
<https://genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/farmers-tenants-and-laborers/>.
Farm renters, sharecroppers, and farm laborers tend to leave fewer
records–we’ll
focus on research strategies directed towards them.

can be challenging to research in a way that landowners are not.

Photo Identification
--------------------------------------

I prefer to put my identification and provenance on the bottom or side of
my images. One can also put it in the metadata associated with the photo as
well.

This is about as much as I put. The intent is not to write a novel. Grandpa
raised registered Angus cattle and he and his sons showed cattle at several
locations in western Illinois–but there’s not room on the photo to include
all of that. But it is something to document. I could create a word
processing file with various photographs I have, newspaper clippings my
Grandma had, things I found in newspapers related to showing the cattle,
and the like.
