I recommend checking with the local Historical Society. Some keep a collection of Colby memorabilia where the roots run deep. There were 26 different Amos Colby's. If you could identify which particular Amos that you have the photo of through these resources, they may be able to connect you with the closest living relative, to be able to return the photo to its rightful place.

Good recommendation Jeanne. This brings up something that all family historians should consider. All of us diligently enter family history into paper and electronic form, however, what becomes of all of that hard work and documentation we have done  regarding our ancestors? I think that it is important to at least while we still have our mental faculties or are still here on earth to leave instructions with family members of what to do with all of the information. A good idea is to consider donating a copy of the family history to a local genealogy library. Share your compiled genealogy with other family members. If you publish your genealogy, donate a copy to your local library and be sure to send one to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library/article.aspx?article=3671 Bob Colby --- On Tue, 9/16/08, Jeanne bailey <jbailey@cpmproperties.net> wrote: From: Jeanne bailey <jbailey@cpmproperties.net> Subject: Re: [COLBY] Amos Colby To: colby@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 10:29 AM I recommend checking with the local Historical Society.
