Hi Marilyn, Nope. No writing on the back. I wish we had known about these family photos years ago before the latest generation passed on. One thing I've learned from this is identify all my photos I take now. I may know who they are or when/where they were taken, but 100 years from now..... well....... Don't give up on not having any old family photos. I had been told for years there were none of our Lofy's, Graeff's, Salmon's, etc and figured I'd never know what they looked like. That's what this box was full of. If I ever do figure anything out about the photo I'll let you all know. Patty >Do any of the pictures have names on the back? Since I and my family are >orginally from Spfld., I would be interested in knowing. As I said, >I don't have many pictures of them so wouldn't know them if I saw them! > >Your "pay-load" sounds great! Good luck > >Marilyn - Clearwater, Fl
