Did you know that Ancestry.com's yearbook collection is free to search until September 2nd? I already have access to Ancestry, but I began looking through their yearbook collection after seeing several genealogy friends posting yearbook photos on Facebook that they had found on Ancestry.com.
I inherited several of my mom's school yearbooks, but none of my dad's yearbooks. So, it's been fun to find photos of my dad in Ancestry's yearbook collection.
I found this great photo of my dad, Jan Albert Iverson, in the 1955 Benson Polytechnic High School yearbook. I didn't know he was a member of their Tech Pep Staff. What a fun find!
I added the arrow and the boxes in this photo after I downloaded it from Ancestry. The red arrow is pointing to my dad. Here's a close-up of him.
My dad was a senior in high school in 1955. I've found and downloaded other fun pictures from this yearbook, which I will share in future posts.
Have you searched the yearbook collection at Ancestry.com yet?
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the Yearbook database on Ancestry. I've found many relatives there---and myself! But I have my own yearbook, so that wasn't very exciting. None for my parents though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Amy! It really is a fun database to look browse, isn't it?
DeleteNever had year books here when I was a kid, not even sure if they do them now. Nice idea though
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty fun, especially for family history research.
