[or-roots] From left to right

What a wonderful idea!

I can remember going through my parent's and grandmother's scrap books and albums many times - what a
wonderful time that was. Wish I could say that we identified everything, but we didn't.

Interesting to note that at age 61, I haven't done that too much with my own children. Or my husband, for
that matter.  Not as much interest, I guess.

But, something to get to soon, you never know. . . .

Cecil,

My mother and I did go through many of her pictures and we 
either wrote the names on the back of the picture, or put a 
page in with the picture with people identified.

BUT..... when my m-i-l passed there were tons of pictures that 
we thought were friends, school chums, etc.  And we spent quite 
some time identifying some of them ....  And it is driving me 
crazy .... is this family to save and attempt to identify ... 
are these school chums that should either go in the trash or to 
that county historical society and see if they can identify .....  

When Mom and I did her pictures, there are lots of pictures 
where there is an index card in the front, something along the 
lines of "Trip to Alaska ..... My memories only, Mom" and then 
other folders that say things like "Girls from the Dorm"

Just a thought ....

May work for other people, may not.

Mom has more surgery this year, and this time I get the second 
two weeks, not the immediate first two weeks, and I'm thinking 
that I'd love to see her high school, college scrap books.  
Gives her something to talk to me about, keeps her set while 
the knee is healing, and it is something we haven't done 
before, and if there is a wonderful family story, perhaps we 
can write it down before I mess up all her family stories.

If you have photos in your possession that are not annotated, 
and you know who they are, write the names on the backs of the 
photos BEFORE you delete this message.  "Mother" and "me" don't 
get it (I have one of those from 1935; but I know who "me" is 
because I knew "me" (Fern Anderson nee
unknown) 1949 untill her death.
