recently visited Wilsonville, and I connected with the lady who is
currently living in my g. grandfathers house. She has since told me
that she has many old photos and she doesn't know who they are. I told her
that I can probably identify them. We are going to correspond more and I
should be able to identify most of those people for her. She is excited
that someone has come forward to claim them and I am equally excited that she
still has them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Save the old photos - someday you might find
someone who has a matching one. (I'm an optimist). What a neat
find!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a related question for you all. While
cleaning out my 86 year old Mother-in-law's house we found her
Mother-in-law's pictures. They were inside a blanket box 20 x 20 x
6. There's at least 200 pictures inside, all are on that 1/8 inch
hardboard that old pictures are on. I'd say the pictures are 80 to
120 years old and haven't seen the light of day for decades. I
plan to scan them. Actually I scanned 1/2 of them but the scanner was
defective and there are streaks through the pictures. What do I do
with the actual pictures. Good for all of you who are labeling your
pictures. 80% of these are not identified, which makes me sad. I
know I'd absolutely love to know who these relatives are.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>When putting together our
family history photos we begin each generational family with the family
group sheet. The photos are added after the group sheet beginning
with photos of the parents and then photos of the children. We also
add documents such as birth certificates, BLM land claims, letters,
citations from books, wills, census records, etc. and end with the death
certificate(s) and obituary(ies) and photos of grave stones when they
are available. Then we begin the next family.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>There is always a question of
"how many photos" to add or "is it too much information", but with the
older family ancestors we don't usually have a problem deciding what to
use.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>We use only two acid free
squares when we attach our photos.(That's the same when scrapbooking our
recent photos, too, as we know the photos won't fall out of the sheet
protectors). We also have acid free <U>clear photo corners</U> that
we use if we don't want to have the squares stick to the photo. I have
been using black background paper or a tan color for most of my background
sheets when doing my heritage albums. I will use special
scrapbooking paper for wedding photos. For my heritage albums I do very
simple pages and include the names of the individuals and approximate date
and location, if known. I've also seen some lovely pages that should
be hung on a wall and not hidden in a book.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>There is no "real" way to do
your albums. No moderator is going to ask you if "that's your final
answer, do you want to phone a friend or take an audience poll" when
you are deciding what to use and where to place things. Just doing
it will allow others the opportunity of looking at an organized glimpse
into the past in future years.</FONT></DIV>
