Debbie: Here is the poem I posted. Jane Foley STRANGERS IN THE BOX COME, LOOK WITH ME INSIDE THIS DRAWER IN THIS BOX I'VE OFTEN SEEN, AT THE PICTURES, BLACK AND WHITE FACES PROUD, STILL, SERENE. I WISH I KNEW THE PEOPLE THESE STRANGERS IN THE BOX, THEIR NAMES AND ALL THEIR MEMORIES ARE LOST AMONG MY SOCKS. I WONDER WHAT THEIR LIVES WERE LIKE HOW DID THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS? WHAT ABOUT THEIR SPECIAL TIMES? I'LL NEVER KNOW THEIR WAYS. IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD TAKEN TIME TO TELL WHO, WHAT, OR WHEN, THESE FACES OF MY HERITAGE WOULD COME TO LIFE AGAIN. COULD THIS BECOME THE FATE OF PICTURES WE TAKE TODAY? THE FACES AND MEMORIES SOMEDAY TO BE PASSED AWAY? MAKE TIME TO SAVE YOUR STORIES SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN IT KNOCKS, OR SOMEDAY YOU AND YOURS COULD BE THE STRANGERS IN THE BOX.

I received permission to post these ideas on family pictures. Jane Foley Jane; What a perfect poem. When my Mother died, I found about 200 negatives of pictures taken 1920's to 1950's. Had to find a photo studio that had the equipment to develop these large negatives, some were 2 x 2 inches. I made several booklet form copies and mailed out to any living relatives, they would write the name, date etc. that they knew, mailed it back to me, then I would let everyone know as many names as we all could figure out. What a job!! Took months and money. Sharon Wallis Klassen AMEN to that, Jane Foley! I have 'inherited' all my great-aunts papers, including pictures of our family members that I'd never seen before. No names on anything! Anne How fortunate for you to have 'inherited' all this wonderful information and pictures. A suggestion I would like to make is to take these pictures to a Family Reunion (even if you have to organize one yourself), spread them out on a table and have everyone look and try to help you identify the family members. Of course, this may not help unless you have some of the "older" generation present but you won't know unless you try it. Invite people from the community where the family grew up. Make sure you get the word out about the "get-together" and ask anyone to come that is interested in that family or knows anything about the family. I wish you luck! Margie Thanks for this Jane; I have been for some time trying to identify as many as I can from my grandmothers old photo album (1875-1967) and my wife's mothers box of old pictures (1902-1993) I have been unable to find anyone still living who can identify more than 10% of the people. I know some of those who "old folks" in the more recent photos have got to be some of the "youngins" in the older photos. My wife and I have started going through all our old photos and putting name, places, and dates as best we can. I am also scanning them all and putting the info on each one on the CD. We are now 72 & 70 years old and have a lot of pictures going back to our junior high school (or I guess they call it "middle school" today) Thanks again Bob in Victoria, TX

I am looking for any information on Peter RICE, born June 20, 1826 in Jessemine Co and his wife Susan Elizabeth YORK of Fayette Co, KY. Susan was born Jan 11, 1831. Thank you, Robin Gaynor

Permission to Post It is so important to put the names of people on the back of pictures and also dates and even places because there maybe family in the future who don't know who the people are in the picture.

I found this tidbit........maybe it will help some of you. Young, James was born Dec 19, 1788 in Wilkes Co. NC. His parents moved to Montgomery County, KY when he was a young man. He was there married Feb 10, 1822 to Lucinda Cunning who was born August 12, 1804 in the same county. They had seven children in KY and moved to Sangamon County, Illinois, arriving in the fall of 1838 is what is now Curran township, where 3 children were born. ( end of article.........more to the book I am sure but this is all I have a copy of! This is not my family but here is the source if you want further reading.

This was on today's Ancestry's newsletter.. made alot of sense and if possible, I'm going to start to do the same. This sure would have helped me last October when I made a trip to AR. Jane Foley NC Ancestry Quick Tip After the Research Trip by Yolanda Campbell Lifter My long-distance research trips are usually seven or more days in length. I arrive home with piles of paper and documents that I have collected along the way as well as all the digital photos I took. To help make my post-trip recovery easier, I have developed a simple way to help myself. At the end of each day of research, I send myself an e-mail. I write where I was on that particular day and what I did. I note any libraries, courthouses, or cemeteries I visited. I also mention if I made any new discovery or found something that needs further follow-up. I list the name(s) of anyone I need to send a thank-you note. I report which client(s) I worked for that day and for how long. I also mention anything that may help me on future trips to the same area such as a landmark for that hard to find cemetery or the name and location of a store I visited. This method has helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed when I return home, and the task of organizing my new findings seems more manageable

I thought this might be interesting to share! Jane Foley NC 10 THINGS MY DESCENDANTS WILL HAVE WANTED ME TO KNOW: 10. that future generations would count so heavily on census reporting to be factual 9. that handwritten diaries handed down to stable generation descendants are a godsend to historians, even as 'mundane' things as their daily life activities 8. that when pictures were taken, making sure that they were labeled on the back more than 'Sue's baby dau" 7. that there was the importance of saving letters that contained info about the family they received from others. 6. giving family history including those letters and diaries and pictures to the real caretakers of the family who cared about the family history and family history preservation. 5. the important of continuing the yearly family reunions, even if a few attended 4. the godsend of writing down the migrations of the history that I knew it to be. From where to where, who and why.... 3. the importance of writing down copies of the Bible Records notations and passing it along to many members of the family including connecting ones in whatever way, in case of fire, flood, or stupid direct descendants who would pitch the valuable info. 2. the godsend of writing down their own family history and diagrams the way they knew it to be including who fought in what war, and whether or not the family was cousins with whatever famous person [and perhaps how, if they were!]And while we're at it, making the notations of how the name was spelled. 1. to NEVER NEVER NEVER name a son or dau, the same as in the past if more than 2 times it already appears in the same generation, found in the same county, and state.

Do a Google search for Fayette County Kentucky....the web site contains a huge amount of data regarding Lexington, KY including some City Directories from 1806, 1808 etc....there is also a history of Lexington that is several pages long with some good information....makes great reading.... Old Hal, whose Dad was born Lexington 1902....

This website will tell a little about Lexington. I am sure there are other sites that may have more information. http://www.uky.edu/KentuckyAtlas/ky-lexington.html ----- Original Message ----- From: <SGates1949@aol.com> To: <KYFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [KYFAYETT] The Census Taker PINES surname > That was fantastic and made a tear come to my eye!
