Hi Rick, One of the Lists I belonged to within the past week, someone mentioned that "family photo albums" were being sold on-line ! This is just an FYI for anyone interested, but I remembered to go check them out last night and found some very nice "antique albums" up for bid. What a shame that only a few of them had a surname associated with them ! The others were full of "old photographs" which cannot be labeled as to who the people were ! But, even unlabeled, it's interesting to go look at the photos which have been posted as part of the albums ! Enjoy your week !
