WOW! That would be something to see. I currently have no idea if they would be "my" Osbornes, but I do have an old postcard type photo of The Pillars, Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, that was found in my grandfather's family (Osborne) photo album. Unfortunately there was no explanation as to how he got the card or what relevance it had, if any, to our family. Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on that wonderful bit of information. Good luck in your own search!
