Face Index: Surnames Beginning with A through E
by Deborah Glassman, copyright 2007, 2008
The names FaceIndex and Face Index, are also copyright by Deborah Glassman, 2007.

All Images on this page are copyright and they may not be used for any purpose without the written permission of the webmaster, including as the icon or front-end for any links to any of our pages.

The FaceIndex, is the quintessential collaborative project. We need your photos including the group photos in which your ancestors and relatives appear. This is a work-in-progress and each successive version will offer more photos and more details in the caption. As we go to press in May 2008, we have around three hundred images on the three pages that we have so far finished. But that is really a drop in the bucket. If we have a family of fifty adults named Epstein between 1870s and 1930s, it is highly unlikely that one photograph represents all of the still available resources. Help us build this valuable research tool!

What is the Face Index?

This page is a sample of the new resources we can build with collaborative efforts. Many Lyakhovichi residents were photographed in group photos for their schools, businesses, and social activities. Others appear in the family photos of their adult siblings, and the candids taken as inexpensive cameras like the Brownie became popular in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Help us build this database by sharing your pictures. Each of the photos on this page, which was taken from a group or composite photo or from a more inclusive photo, remains the property of its copyright owners.

Comparisons and Resemblances - A New Kind of Data and an Old Kind of Fun

Neville Lamdan who had already helped locate a number of the original pictures on this page, had another photograph for me when I asked. But even before the picture of his grandfather Abraham Mandel could be posted, Neville had another idea. "You should see the picture of my grandfather side by side with a picture of a third cousin of mine - the two men are second cousins twice removed (their common ancestor was born in 1778) but look at this resemblance." Dr. Lamdan also points out that facial matching software has entered the genealogy market, some of it developed by Israeli software companies. We need more samples, more side by side comparisons of your family members, so we can consider utilizing facial matching software as a further tool to aid in our research. We need your pictures and we need your help!
