<DIV><SPAN class=823213416-13122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
been able to match up pictures from old photo albums and such with some of the
same type of pictures. Most likely they are family members. I did a
lot of "who was the oldest" and work that way dating pictures. My daughter
seems to have a knack of seeing "likenesses" in pictures and was able to
help.</FONT></SPAN></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. </FONT></DIV>

<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>
