COLORIZED FAMILY PHOTOS

Hi everyone.
Earlier in 2020, after the Covid 19 Pandemic hit, My Heritage website offered free access to their black and white to color software. I was skeptical at first but the results were amazing.  It became apparent that this was a long awaited chance to colorize the many black and white photos Mom and Dad gave me for safekeeping.
