When I am at auctions or yard sales I am always curious and saddened when I see old photographs or albums with unknown inheritors. I wonder where the people lived, what was their family like, and why haven't these photographs/albums been passed down to someone related to them . . . well, someone else has also been touched by this same experience. You may be interested to check out this website for any listings of names other than FERGUS - checked on this and found no listings on "our" surname. You can find Your Past Connections at: http://www.pastconnect.com/ At the heart of this site is a database of items that have been discovered at auctions, estate sales, flea markets, yard sales and from other sources. Some items have been found and submitted by the staff at Your Past Connections. However, most have been found and submitted by people just like you from all over the world! How do the items get reunited with their "families"? Submitters of "Available Items" specify an asking price, which is displayed in the search results. Sometimes, the only cost requested is the cost of postage. When someone searches the database of "Available Items" and finds an item that they would like to acquire, they fill in a form on this site and an email message is automatically sent to the person who owns the item. From then on, arrangements for payment and shipping are made between the two parties involved. Your Past Connections only sets up the initial contact and does not charge either party for this service.
