Looking for Assistance re matching child face to adult
« on: Wednesday 21 September 16 21:02 BST (UK) »
I have a school picture of my grandfather's class in Sweden but unfortunately don't know which person is the photo is him.  Is there any service that would compare that photo to photos of my grandfather as a man and identify him?

Regards, Linda from Canada

There are lots of facial comparison sites on the internet.  Not sure how accurate they would be comparing a child to an adult as I have never tried them.

Why don't you post the two pictures on the board here and see what everyone thinks?

It would be a good idea to scan just the head and shoulders of man and boy at a resolution of 600dpi
and post here for comments and opinions.

Re: Looking for Assistance re matching child face to adult - Photo Attached

I have included 4 photos - one of the whole school class in Ansjo Sweden and a crop of the child I think might be my grandfather.  I have attached two photos of my grandfather - one as a young man and one as a middle-aged man.

Any comments or opinions as to possible match greatly appreciated.

Regards, Linda from Canada

Here is the crop of the child  that I think might be my grandfather.  I had issues with previous post.

Thanks, Linda from Canada

Hi Linda,

I think the young fellow on the bottom row right side could also be a possibility.
Just the shape of the face draws me to him.
