Evelynne I think that would be a wonderful idea.Because my Mom's trunks was stole by her sister-in-law after my Mom's death and sure would love to find the stuff she had in those trunks.Now sister-in -law is dead and of course rest of the family had ni idea she had done that>right give me a break.If only people could just tell the truth no matter what.I think more of people who tell me the truth no matter how much it hurts as though who stand and look you in the face and lie.My 2 cents worth.

There is a website like that already. http://www.adoptaphoto.com/ Maybe you could work together. Leona

Dear Group, I have gone in to a place that sells vintage things to decorate "Shabby Chic". They use old photo that they have found in Antique stores for price tags. They punch a hole in the corner and tie a ribbon through it and put the price of the item on the back. It really makes you sick to see these photos being used that way. They are someone's family. Most of them appear to be in the 30's and 40's, late enough that someone might recognize them. I think a site of photos would be wonderful. I think that if people also had their own photos that they have in their possession (but don't know who they are ) could put on the internet for others can view would be wonderful also. This is my 2 cents!!
