    3. Hi Don: You might want to list it with some of the names on Somebody's Links, an electronic newsletter designed exactly to return items of significance to family members. For a sample, see: SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER: Genealogical Treasures Found Vol. 4, No. 41, 14 November 2002 Circulation: 17,805+ http://www.petuniapress.com/ (c) 1999-2002 Julia M. Case There's also a message board for Somebody's Links under "Topics" at Rootsweb that is available for free. Plus, you could leave a message on the Surname message board of the family that the album is available. Either direct them to the dealer or have readers contact you for that info. So many of these are being sold on ebay and then broken up, it's really tragic.
