From Numbers to Names-Website uses old pictures to find relatives lost in the Holocaust

Thank you to our JGSGM member Marian W. for forwarding this article to me about a Google software engineer, Daniel Patt, who founded the website From Numbers to Names.  

The site uses artificial intelligence to find old photographs of loved ones and relatives lost during the Holocaust.

Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] Practicing Safe Computing Video and "Search tips for selected genealogy websites"

Dear IAJGS Leaders,

Wishing you and your families the best for this holiday season - Happy Chanukkah, Merry Christmas, Blessed Bodhi Day, Merry Yuletide, Heri za Kwanzaa!, and a Peaceful and Solemn Zarathosht Diso. 

My recent JewishGen talk on "Practicing Safe Computing" can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn6JaAn3mIs. It highlights some of the most important steps that we can all take to play it safe online. 

I thought I would wrap up the year by sharing a few search techniques for MyHeratage, FamilySearch, and Ancestry that have worked well for me. Hope you find them useful. "Search tips for selected genealogy websites" has been published in the December 2022 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). Current and prior newsletters are freely available at the Society's website, https://www.jgscv.org

All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are available in a single searchable PDF. This resource is freely accessible at https://tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles . Consider placing a link to it on your society's web site or otherwise sharing it with your members as an ongoing free resource, reminding them when new articles are available. If you have any questions or suggestions for future articles, please contact me.

Have a terrific holiday season!

Hal
