On This Day: Birth of Elizabeth Ann Williamson Laney

Elizabeth Ann Williamson Laney was born 15 July 1915, in Pittsburg, Kansas; she died 9 June 2005 in Joplin, Missouri.

If you are a member of Ancestry.com, perhaps you have seen one the of the site’s newest features, allowing one to “colorize” old photos. I was skeptical about whether literally one click of my mouse would render my black and white and sepia images in quality color images.

However, I decided to give it a try today, and I started with photos of my grandmother. I have to say that I am duly impressed with this feature. Obviously, the better the condition of one’s originals, the better the effect.
