I've set up a group through yahoogroups.com (free membership). If you are interested in joining, please let me know by contacting me directly at [email protected] Here's a description of the group. Membership is easy. Just let me know that you want to join by sending an e-mail to [email protected] You will then receive an invitation to join. All memberships require my approval which will hopefully eliminate or reduce any spam messages. Here's the name of the yahoo group (free membership) and a description: Title: [email protected] Many genealogy buffs have old family photos, yet have been unable to identify possible ancestors. Our group will serve several purposes: The first is to allow Members to upload old photos and ask for help with identification; the second purpose is to upload old photos and identify as many of the individuals in the photos as possible. The photos will be restricted to those taken in the New England states prior to 1930 in an attempt to preserve confidentiality. Requests for information regarding other American states or other countries will be removed from the group files. IOnce your membership has been approved here are the instructions for uploading photos: Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GenealogyNewEnglandAncestryPhotos.com. If you are not a member of yahoogroups (free membership), go to www.yahoogroups.com and register. Upload your jpeg photo in the photo section (shown on the left side of the group's home page). Post a message regarding your questions about the photo and what you know about it. Each Member should have their own photo album and add photos as they wish.
