Pat Henderson. One of our list members has been researching his Keplinger line. A truck driver found a box of old pictures in a trash bin along a Muskogee Oklahoma turnpike. He was familiar with Geneological research and researchers, so retrieved the pictures. In January he posted a note on GenForum about the Keplinger pictures ( several of them had Keplinger names on the back). Larry found the notice, retrieved the pictures and at least the 5 which are identified turned out to be his ancestors. Over 100 years after the pictures were taken in Jacksonville, Morgan County, Illinois - then lost or thrown away along an Oklahoma turnpike all these years later, they've found their way home to family.......a miracle I'd say. He is looking for help in identifying the Miller picture (the name is on the back), but he hasn't been able to discover yet who the man is, though he is probably a relative. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing obituaries, tombstone pictures, family photos, etc. I love having you all participate in helping to make the MAGA web site better and more helpful. Am waiting to see who will share pictures/obits and help determine the next cemetery I redo, adding the additional documentation - everything someone shares means one less picture to take or one less obit to try and find. Enjoy and thanks again to those of you who have been sharing. Shirley
