Once again, here I am chiming in with my weeks old delayed response to a post! Bert, have you thought of posting the photos on one of the various sites dedicated to reuniting old photos with families? My favorites are "Dead Fred's Relatively Speaking," and "Lost Leaves," but I know there are a bunch of sites out there for this purpose. Gosh, I can recall my Mother pitching out old CDVs and when I asked why on earth she was doing that, she said, "I don't know who they are and no one is left to ask, so we'll never know." Now I wish I'd rescued those lovely old CDVs, just in case one of the distant cousins I've met online might've been able to ID them! Or, to post on one of those sites in hopes of making a connection. Oh well. ( Silly me, in moments of unrealistic hope, I've purchased several large lots of old photos on eBay, just because they're by Horseheads or Elmira photographers. I've gotta get those posted on the sites mentioned!)

I have half a dozen of them. One an old log cabin with a family in front. wish I knew who the were. Bert
