How we know

Every fact about May, with where it came from. Your word always outranks a re-scan.

This person is in your source From the journal
“He recalls when his older sister May was baptized the year before, coming up out of the water with a big blob of moss on her face.”

Real photo

Have an actual photo of May? Add it and we'll build their illustrated likeness from it — locked across every book in the collection. Optional.

Upload a photo, then a "Redraw from this photo" button appears here.

Family

Set parents and we'll draw this person with a real family resemblance — children visibly belong to their parents.

The source suggests Julius is the father — use it?
The source suggests Hattie is the mother — use it?
Children none linked yet — set May as Mother or Father on a child's page.

FamilySearch

What makes May

The locked visual details the illustrator matches on every page. Edits save here (the source of truth) and flow to every book May appears in.

The canonical likeness

The locked turnaround + reference the AI illustrator draws from on every page, in every book. Built from the traits — add a real photo above to anchor it to the actual person.

No likeness yet. Build it now so every illustration of May starts from the same canonical reference.
Reference description (sent with every page)

Life stages

The same May at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.

Build May's canonical likeness first (below) — the stages age from it. You can still pin a real photo to any stage now.
