One of the more exciting discoveries in doing family history research is finding a photograph of your ancestors or their residence. Finding historic postcard photos and drawings of towns and important events throughout history can also give you a visual look into your ancestors lives.

Ancestry's Picture Collection includes photographs and historic drawings of people and places, including postcards of hundreds of towns and events throughout the world.
Finding a picture of your ancestor or their residence will allow you to view what life was like in their time.
The best way to find a Pictures record is to enter as much information as you can into your search. The more you tell us about your ancestor, the easier it will be to find good matches about him or her.
Once you find a matching Pictures record, save it to your family tree—that way you can provide evidence to back up the info in your family tree, easily share your discovery with your family, and quickly find the historical record again later.
