Saturday, April 12th, 2025 - 10:00AM EST - Tina LaFreniere - at Falmouth Public Library
- Hybrid Meeting with Live Presenter
- Title: "Don't be Afraid of Technology" - AI for facial recognition and pairing
- Tina LaFreniere, Founder and CEO of the Related Faces website (relatedfaces.com) will describe how facial recognition works and provide pointers on photo restoration. She will provide practical information on decision-making and the use of Related Faces’ Resemblance Numbers and Pairings, combined with your family knowledge, to recognize and identify the “unknown” people in your family photos.
- Tina began her genealogical journey over 15 years ago and, along the way, has inherited thousands of photos from her family, hundreds of which are unidentified. These photos inspired Related Faces, and the site was launched in February 2022. Tina is a member of the Genealogical Society of Collier County, Florida, the National Genealogical Society and The Photo Managers Group.
