Compare A Face on Family Search #photographs
Felissa Lashley
I have started to use Compare A Face in the hopes of possibly confirming what might be old photos of two sets of great grandparents. I have compared photos of my grandparents at ages from very young to elderly and have gotten matches of 96% to 100% so I feel that there is some validity to this use.
However, I get a lower percent when comparing my two grandparents with in one case a known parental couple, and in the other, a possible parental couple. In all cases the man has a beard and the woman a babushka. In one case, either of two couples could be the parents of one grandparent. The agreement in the facial matches are: woman 42%, man 46%, and in the other possible parental couple: man 26% and woman 62%.
Of course these families had quite a few known cousin marriages and there is the issue of chromosome assortment as well as other factors.
Has anyone had any experience with interpreting compare a face results or have any knowledge they could please share?
Appreciate any thoughts...Thank you.
