This is a very interesting site. It seems to be new. The site shows photos (most of them identified) that have been bought at flea markets, etc. People that can prove relationship can retrieve the pictures. Lost Photos http://geneagraphx.com/lost_leaves/photo.htm Barbara Rivas sayona@telepath.com

I also have the book on military records from ancestry com. if anyone wants me to look for a particular souce for a particular service. ALso the Museum of Military History in Washington, D.C. is a better place for getting military info than the St. Louis people, they have things that got destroyed in the St Louis fire. But you kind of need to know a place to tell them where to look and that is what this book is for. D.

Anybody know of a CD for genealogy to make an album look good? I have UFT but want another one to make a "tree", nice frames, etc. Something to make the pages look nice. Also, want CD which makes nice Xmas frames or pages for photo albums. Or, is there someone interested in making those things for me in exchange for handcrafted photo albums, made to their specifications? Also, are there any sites on the net that might have this? Haven't found them yet, if there are. Thanks. Rita Boyd NU1111@aol.com
Anybody have time to look up birth parents for above? Thanks. No luck with the usual methods. Rita Boyd NU1111@aol.com

I just found out last week who my Father's birth siblings were. He had a brother that was in the Army or Navy and was stationed in New York in 1939. His name was William Rufus Hammond. William and my Father ( born in 1911) along with 2 sister's were placed in a orphanage in Atlanta,Ga sometime before 1917. My Father was the youngest. From what i understand this Family came from Spring Place,Tn to Atlanta. But i do not know where the family members were actually born other than TN. Does anyone know if there is anyway i can obtain info. on William through Military records if so Where? Thanks for any help you can offer. Pat
