Identifying Madsen Photo from 1887 (Part 1)

Genealogy TV

In this video I’m trying to identify the people in this ca. 1887 photo handed down to me from my Madsen family from Laramie, WY. This is part one. There are a lot of lessons to learn as I do this research.

Episode 4 on GTV2 See also the Photo Detective Maureen Taylor on GTV1 where she examines this photo, here https://youtu.be/ZCxSljUTO1Y These videos are unedited so that you can learn the research process in real time. There are no handouts for videos here on Genealogy TV 2.

For similar handouts from the Genealogy TV’s primary YouTube channel, non-members can find them at GenealogyTV.org/handouts.
