    2. <<Lorraine said: 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! >> I actually had that happen. I connected with a woman who's gr-grandmother was sister to my husband's gr-grandmother. She sent me a load of photos that she couldn't identify. This is a real case of serendipity... I had found my husband's aunt online about a month before this. He hadn't seen her or heard from her, for about 30 years. When we contacted her, to see if she was who we hoped she was, she answered, and she sent us all the family photos, with NAMES on them. Guess who most of the photos were of, that this other woman had copies of? All of my husband's relatives. Then there were a few that I didn't know, so I sent copies to his aunt. She wrote back to tell us who they were. None of this would ever have happened without the internet, and who knew a few years back, what would happen with the net? Kathy
