Jackie, You have ever right in asking for documentation. Those old albums are rather pricey on the market. I am so glad you were able to rescue it. So many people does not have any idea how valuable they are to some members of a family. I am always checking on e-bay and flea mkts. to see what they have for sale in old albums and old family bibles. Many sellers list names if they are available. So far I have not found any that might connect to my family, but I keep looking. Billie Rose, I have had a contact from a lady in CA that claims to be a relative. I have responded to her requiring documentation of relationship before turning this over to her. Am I out of line? The photo album has personal letter and documents in it that date back as early as 1916. Some Christmas cards, valentine cards, proof of innoculation from a Dr.... it's an amazing album. Leaving the family connection aside I figure the album is worth some money and Im sure some people would be greedy enough to think so too. So I want it to go to family not an antique dealer. There are about 10 tin types in it also. It's amazing. One letter speaks of some clothing a lady made for Christmas presents and what her husband got her for Christmas. The letter is dated 1921.... "John got me a white georgette waist, a black silk dress, and a player piano, and a new 9ft. X 12 ft rug. Mom got a player roll for me, Dad got me kid gloves and candy and then friends sent me lots of things besides my dear sis Beulah's presents. So you see I was well remembered......" Some of the correspondence is sent to and comes from IL, so this may be a connection.... Do you have any addresses or contact info on any of this family? Jackie > >
