Hi I just wanted to share a idea with you, Christmas picture cards are getting very common, We send them, and get them, from family all over the country. Since many of us do save them, this years, I wrote on the back of each one I got, who was who, and the jist of how they are related. We got one from my hubbys second cousin kids, my daughter didn't know who they were, even though we had seen them last year. So I figured, Date them, write the parents name and grandparents before I put them away. It might be a gold mine some day to future researcher, our G grandchildren a 3rd cousin, who knows. Everyone I have talked to, does not throw them out. They get stashed away in one box or another. So in 50 years, it might break down some ones brick wall:-) Just thought I would share the idea Patricia

What a great idea!
