Are the photos real?

Yes. The photos of everyday life are real photographs from those years, from public archives like the National Archives. The landmark and the car can be modern shots of the real thing. Every fact under them is checked.

Can it be for anyone?

Mom, Dad, a grandparent, a husband or wife, or yourself. Any birthday from 1900 on.

How long does it take?

The proof usually arrives within a few days. Once it looks right to you, it's printed and usually arrives in one to two weeks.
