I&#8217;m still leaning towards not going back and changing the name I&#8217;ve used to identify my daughter on already annotated images for the following reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>it identifies her name at the point in time the picture was taken<\/li>\n<li>it was her correct name&#8211;it&#8217;s not like she was identified incorrectly as someone else<\/li>\n<li>I have other pictures that are not annotated where I do know who is in them<\/li>\n<li>I really have better things to do with my time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are context clues in the original image&#8217;s annotation. I should have added &#8220;great-granddaughter,&#8221; but I&#8217;m not certain that now I&#8217;m going to back and add that to the images where I have not already done it. As I continue to identify images, I&#8217;ll put brief relationship information (when known) in the annotation. But I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessary to modify and identify my daughter by her married name. As I identify other images I may do that. It also may be a good idea to include the date the digital image and identification was made along with the date of the picture (if known), making it clear which date is which.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5975\" src=\"https:\/\/rootdig.genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/grandma-sarah-300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"427\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rootdig.genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/grandma-sarah-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rootdig.genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/grandma-sarah.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across this image the other day and it got me to thinking: should one go back and re-label pictures when someone has changed their name?
