About Maureen
I love photos! That’s no secret. I’ve spent my career looking at pictures and studying their details. Never met a picture I didn’t love. They are all special in their own way. I’ve been recognized for my expertise by the New York Times, Better Homes and Gardens, The Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal, which claimed I was the “nation’s foremost historical photo detective.”
For twenty-five years, I’ve written a blog or column for Family Tree Magazine on photo mysteries. That’s one a week for a total of close to 900 images, not counting the columns in the print magazine, those written for American Spirit (the DAR magazine), Ancestry.com, and others.
I’ve written or contributed to more than 30 books (I think). When I tell you that photographs are my passion, I have the proof.
