I've done it! Not that I expect any sort of reply or result but it can't do any harm can it?
Here are two photographs for comparison purposes....I wonder what others might think. Could my sea captain ggrandfather be the father of this soldier?


If you have more sea captain photos it might be worth loading a few into ftb from myheritage and that one of the snazzy dresser, and see what their face recognition software "thinks". I have used it for members of my family and it often suggests the right person together with siblings or parents of a person who I know the identity of.  If the software suggests it too that helps to build your case I think.

I don't use Myheritage so have no idea how it works. I presume it is safe to download and isn't going to cost me a small fortune!

I have downloaded without problems.

No you dont have to subscribe to the chargeable parts, but they pester you to upload your tree to the web but you can privatise it. I use it for all my trees and just dont put anything on the web. Just bought FTM and think FTB is better but I am a stick in the mud for what I know.

Thank you very much Deb. The link worked perfectly. The news item was far too short though which was a little disappointing, and left me wanting to know more.
