    3. Marty, You are really lucky, this is what I tried to get a guy to do with the last set I saw. The Fulton set was a real find and the right full owners did get them. The other set of photo's from Gallipolis is still in the owner, from Columbus, posession . I have his email address and he will hold on to them to see if he can find the family. I have run into both the kind and the greedy Martin Cassidy <cassidym@earthlink.net> wrote:There are people out there that are nice in these situations. Here's what happened to me: An "antiquer" (one who spends as much time crawling through antique shops as we spend doing genealogy) found some old photographs in a store and bought them because there were names on them. She then hit the internet looking for relatives, found my website, and then sent them to me gratis. They were beautiful photos of my great grandfather's family, originally in boxes stored in a barn and sold off to a dealer in an estate matter. My guess is that if she hadn't found any claimants, she'd try on ebay to recoup some costs. Her motives weren't greed, they were honorable, and I am forever indebted to her for her efforts. -- Marty Cassidy Seattle, WA USA ==== OHGALLIA Mailing List ==== Check the address you are replying to before sending your message.
