Kremenets Ancestor Face Match

 At the IAJGS Conference in 2020, I attended a presentation by Scott Genzer titled Using Facial Recognition Tools to Identify Unnamed Ancestors for Genealogical Research . I immediately reached out to Scott as I thought this would be valuable resource for use within the Kremenets District Research Group. The initial version required Scott to manage all the pictures on his Amazon Web-Services sites. But, over the last year, with a lot of help from Scott I was able to standup my own site.  Since then I've uploaded over 100 pictures that I collected from the Kremenets District websites, Yitzkor Books, and from mine and cousin's collections. I believe I'm now ready to launch the website: https://kdrgfaces.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html A few of the pictures you will find include: Rachel Ochs Gouline, my Great-Grandmother Alexander Glickman , my cousin Mark Glickman's Grandfather Isaac Stern , a Kremenets Native Son
