For anybody who is into genealogy, there’s a great site where people post pictures of their ancestors. You might find a hookup to your family tree this way. Here’s the site. Click on the state of your choice and see what you find. Good luck!

Many years ago, I found a hat box of old family photos out in the horse barn underneath a bunch of tack. It’s a miracle they weren’t rat chewed or that moisture hadn’t gotten to them. Anyway, that’s how I got interested in genealogy. I am so thankful granny was able to identify all but a couple.
Mr. B had some old pictures which I had his oldest relative ID so he is also able to have a sense of family history to look at.
The lesson here is if someone has some old photos, get them to the oldest relative before it’s too late. Don’t wait. Next week, next month, next year and it all might be lost forever. With family getting together during the holidays, this is the perfect time to quiz the relatives. It might be fun to hustle now to get IDs and make albums for presents. That, or Christmas afternoon while everyone is relaxing, sit around the table and go through them while you have several minds who might remember who’s who and can relate stories.
