 As Joanie Mitchell sang, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."

Long love RootsChat!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Could you clean, restore and maybe colour my great grandma please?

Hi Judy, nice to see you back again.  ;)

It doesn't seem like 85 years - I have always felt as if I knew her, as my dad was very fond of her, and was always telling me stories about her, keeping her memory alive.

Her daughter and her granddaughter also died that night. So sad.

 ;D  You are right about that, Carol!

All you restorers on the board give your time and talents for free, something for which we less-talented people should be very grateful. You are all so generous with your time and skills - even more laudable when you are doing it for people that you don't even know.  :D

The photo restoration board is the first one I look at every day, and I would guess it is for a lot of other people too.  I love to see these old treasured photos brought back to life, and preserved for future generations.

I don't usually comment on the restoration of other people's photos, but I was so impressed by Peter's excellent version of this photo that I had to!  There were more versions after Peter, and they too were amazing.

Hope that you will be back restoring soon Carol; I miss seeing your lovely work.  :-*

Thank you BookBox.  I find it strange that the writer has only used Power's surname and not his Christian name.  That's why I originally thought it was a name that had been Latinized.
