Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is well given the current climate with the Covid 19 virus.
With all the spare time we have in lockdown I hope everyone is having success with their family tree.

I have a question of the wonderful people here. I was talking to a work colleague who is based in the UK and he has some photos of his ancestors which are starting to fade badly.

Does anyone know of someone based in the UK who can restore photos?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

all the best to everyone

Kind regards
Gai

Helen Dawkins (LRPS) has been restoring images for many years. She has had a number of articles published in the Society of Genealogists journal 'Genealogists Magazine'.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your suggestions and I have passed them on to the UK.

Hope everyone stays safe and well and is enjoying their lockdown time doing research on their trees. Wouldn't it be lovely to breakdown those brickwalls.

Kind regards
