Nel, go to your profile page, you will find a list of everything you have done, including photo request. You can click on that and all you have requested will come up. If it is still listed, it probably means, there are no volunteers in that area.

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "One of the tragedies of life is the murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts" - La Rochefoucauld Winnette, It took me a minute to figure out that clicking on my name brings up my Profile page but all that is there is the one request I made 3 days ago. I also went back into FAQs and still found no info on photo requests directed to the requestor. The answers all related to photo volunteer how-tos. That is not to say I couldn't have overlooked it but even in the most obvious places, I couldn't find anything. Back to that rabbit hole :-) Nel
