Genealogy is the next thing on my list after the PhD. I have a few photos like that (my great grandma’s senior photos actually look a lot like mine!) and they’re always amazing to see!

Best of luck to you!

Agreed! I ran into this yesterday with my dissertation and adding the Word plugin. I can tag sources and Zotero will add citations and compile the references, but it can’t detect the 80+ pages of already cited. I have to go back and re-tag those manually.
