What a shame to hoard photos! I'm copy and distributing as fast as I can! I've been able to share with second cousins photos of their father which they had not seen because their Grandparent's house burned destroying their pictures. I've received photos from a third cousin of the ggaunt who updated the family history in 1929. They are all treasures to us.

I apologize ahead of time to those who will get more than one cop= y of this but thought it was important enough for all. I just attended the funeral of my 78 year old aunt. She was the self-appointed guardian of al= l family info and she guarded it well. I've been doing research for almost 20 years and she absolutely refused to let me have access to my grandmother's photos, etc. Yesterday, my father, who inherited from his sister, gave me access to this material. I found my grandfather's death certificate and the sermon read at his funeral, my grandmother's birth certificate, wedding certificate, death certificate, obituaries and famil= y letters, church membership records, a history written in 1932 that confirm= s the royal line of one of my families and tells me that my Rodgers ancesto= r was the "tallest man in England in his day and had a huge head", school reports for my aunts and uncles (now deceased), I could go on and on. Bu= t what's important is this: I now have photos- hundreds of them from my gggrandmother, Margaret McConahy and gggrandfather, George Van Eman Morrow= , down to my own son. So what's wrong? Many of then aren't labeled- some o= f them were hanging in a damp basement, some are falling apart, some glued t= o the album, etc . I have a photo of three teenagers that is just marked "Morrow". Now I think it is my grgrandmother and her siblings but ? Sadly the older family members are mostly gone and I don't know if they will ever be identified. So, I am begging all of you- share the photos, etc. now, sit down with the family members and mark them - get your own info in order so that 100 year= s from now, our descendants aren't lamenting the loss of family info. You can bet that within the next few weeks, all of my photos will be labeled. and copies of these photos made and shared with my cousins. Thanks for listening and I hope this saves at least one photo. Donna =3D=3D=3D=3D MORROW Mailing List =3D=3D=3D=3D List problems?
