Facial Recognition Match: None Right: None

Information from facial recognition matching Photo: notes:  

Identifications if not marked are by a facial recognition software commonly used by genealogists to identify unknown people. Using AI to analyze photos mapping facial features to create a numerical signature for each face. It then compares these signatures to find potential matches against other databases, like the Library of Congress, and calculates a "Resemblance Number" to indicate the likelihood that two faces are the same person

We only include matches of 85% or higher.
