Who is the first person to have there picture taken?
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce did, in 1826. Giovanni Battista della Porta in his great Magiœ Naturalis of 1558 does lay some emphasis on the use of the camera obscura (literally dark room in Latin), a tent or room with a small hole in one wall which optically projects an upside-down image of the scene outside to the opposite wall (all modern photographic are simply small camera obscuras), but della Porta considered the camera obscura primarily an instrument of , and certainly did not invent chemical photography. That had to wait nearly three more centuries.
Linear perspective had come into widespread use in Italy in the 15th century. The camera obscura aided artists in creating more precise depictions. Sketches made from the projected image in a camera obscura had more exact spatial perspective because a three dimensional scene was accurately projected onto a two dimensional surface. The resulting sketches might, in a considerable stretch, be called "photographic" insofar as they were made from an optical projection, but a true chemical (literally light writing, from the Greek) had to wait until the summer of 1826, when Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the world's first chemical photograph using a obscura.
Niépce had made photographic negatives on paper with a camera as early as 1814, but was not able to make them permanent. The first permanently fixed was that of his 1826 view through his window at Gras.

How has photography and micro filming influenced genealogy?
In ancient times (before digital photography) it took so long to take a photograph that people weren't able to procreate - often they had to sit perfectly still for several days while a photograph was taken. It was a commonly accepted 'rule of thumb' that the more photos one had taken, the fewer children one was likely to have. Also, the chemicals used in early flash photography and photographic processing (development) are now known to cause sterility and incredulity in poseurs.
