I've done a few from the early 1900s, so sympathize with the the amount of work and skill it takes. Well done.

One thing I found is that some of my relatives look like my ancestors. One of my female cousins on my mother's side is a dead ringer for my grandmother. See any resemblances?

With a result like that, I'd say: Well done!
Hope your patience will last to more of that work! It can't be easy or fast, I'm sure!

This is a photo of my Great, Great, Great, Grandfather. I would say the mid-1800s. I went through a "box" of photos and found quite a few in bad shape. I did the best I could through Photoshop, almost pixel by pixel. It took me about a month at about two hours a day.


Very nice.
I had a photo of my great great grand mother. My first attempt at restoration went south. I will try again. I hope to eventually post to the family tree on Family Search.

Very nice. You kept a lot of the old look.

This is one reason I'd like to be able to go back in time - to talk to my ancestors.
