Hello All,
I was just wondering if there is a particular database, resource, etc to find pictures or images. To match the name with a face of some kind? Does anyone know if a fruitful online resource for finding pictures or images for these ancestors? I have found many passport photos through the family search weblinks, but I am looking for a significant online newspaper archive. Somewhere I might place the names of ancestors with their image, work history, or other story. It seems that some of my line goes back many, many generations in Guadalajara, Encarnacion de Diaz and the surrounding towns so this area is of special interest to me.
Thanks in advance

Saludos,
Queria preguntar si hay una base de datos, recursos, etc para encontrar fotos o imágenes. Para coincidir el nombre con una cara de algún tipo? ¿Alguien sabe si un recurso establesido en línea para encontrar fotos o imágenes de esos antepasados? He encontrado muchas fotos de pasaporte a través de los enlaces web Family Search, pero estoy buscando un archivo en línea significante. En algún lugar puede ser que coloque los nombres de los antepasados con su imagen, historia laboral, o de otra historia. Parece que mucho de mi línea se encuentra por generaciones en Guadalajara, Encarnación de Díaz y de los pueblos de los alrededores por lo que esta zona es de especial interés para mí.
Gracias,

Images, periodicals, etc
Hello: please tell me where you found the passport photos link on family search. I have found good information from freedom on information act request to US Citizenshlip and Immigration services some papers included passport pictures and in their own words some of my ancestors history (those of recent years and those who migrated to the US). I also came across a Who's Who in Mexico book at the University of Texas at Austin with a quick reference to one of my ancestors who was a doctor. Hope this helps. Anita

Passport photo link
Hello Anita,
From the Search Results page in the Family Search database you can select the drop down menu by clicking the little triangular icon to the right of the persons name, this will reveal more info i.e. DOB, arrival date, port, and other details, on that list it will say "record has photo" followed by yes or no. If there is a photo all you have to do is click on the name of the person and there is usually a link on the following page where you can download the record with photo (though you may have to sign in/create account etc). However if the image is not available the page will give you more details, film # etc. to facilitate an independent search and browse through of images and then all you have to do is find the records and go page by page to search for you relevant document/pictures.
Hope that helps!
MAZO
