<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't know about you, but I have a great number of
photographs that came from the estates of my ancestors. Some of them have
names written on the back, but most don't. I can identify many of those
people because I knew them while they were living; some because their names were
written on the back side of the photos.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But don't do this: Look at:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is a photo of a group of people taken on the 50th
wedding anniversary of my gr gr grandparents, Frank and Ida Anderson in
1935. On the back of this photo the names are listed, BUT!!! They
include: "me", "mother", "grandmother", "grandfather", etc.. DON'T DO
THIS!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was able to identify the unnamed only because I know who
"me" is/was; Fern Anderson nee unknown. Talk about a bull headed red
head. And it didn't come out of a bottle! Fern married my
maternal grandmother's brother, Earnest Anderson.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So... When you have the time, write the full names
on the back of all of your photos.</FONT></DIV>
