I received two old albums from my grandmothers house to use. I have scanned in all photos, then put them in an acid free, corners used (acid free type) album. Now for the ones I didn't know who they were, I set up a page at yahoo.com in the photo area, sent a email to all family that has internet for them to identify them for me. This has worked great, out of 67 photos, I still do not know who 5 of them are. I can now take the new photo album (which is now in 1, and no sticky pages) back to the house and get 2 more, maybe this time they will trust me with more than 2 this time. Thought I would give others an idea that worked for me, Tammy -- Thank you in advance Tammy Brazeau nee Johnson looking for Johanson, Johnson,Matheson, Mathison, Quinn, Trainor LIFE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS YOU MAKE IT!!!

There is also a great website called Dead Fred. http://www.deadfred.com. Nice job on the new albums, too. You are a *fantastic* family archivist and future generations will be grateful for your hard work. Every family should be so lucky! Please keep me posted about the next round, OK?
