Talbot shares the course of research undertaken to identify a family heirloom photograph. Talbot is a descendent of Hyrum Smith and initially thought the photograph might have been Hyrum or Joseph Smith. He sought expert advice and it was determined to be a daguerreotype of Frederick G. W. Smith, the second son of the Prophet. He offers some theories as to how the heirloom came to be in the Hyrum Smith family.
