Your family's antique photograph album has been located! I am Robert D. King and in my travels, I see family photos lost in antique stores and for sale on ebay. I think that is sad knowing that there are family tree researchers and descendants, that would treasure those photos. So I have decided to try and do something about it by returning as many as I can to their rightful families. So I buy photos with names and dates or places on them and list them on my webpage, so descendants of these lost souls can find them and bring them home. The thousands of photographs are mostly from the 1800's and include Tintypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards, Carte-de-visites, Personal Picture Postcards, Photo Albums and Yearbooks. Recently, I was able to acquire the following album: Doverspike - Bittinger's Tintype Photo Album from Armstrong County, PA. This Civil War era album is 6"x 5"x 2.5". It has 30 photos inside and they are all tintypes! On the inside cover it says "Emma C. Bittinger" The names in the album are: John Doverspike John D. - also it says "Aunt Leuina"?
