Surnames: Rosalina Ploetz Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CGC.2ACI/665.3.1 Message Board Post: Thank you. I only had the spelling from the back of the photo and it is in script and hard to read. I just can not stand when people throw away old photos. Surly there must be some family left who will want them. My husband says I am crazy doing this. But I only buy maybe 4-6 a month. Most of them get homes. I never ask for more than I pay for them.I have stopped sending them out and asking for postage in return especially overseas. The money never seems to come back.I had one famous man ask me to send a photo to him. I did and did not get the $2.50 cents for the photo plus $7.00 for over seas shipping. The man emailed me several times saying he was too busy to send the money. (I know, the money would have cost more to exchange than it would be worth. But I have grand kids who would have loved it) Then two and a half years later, a friend in England was going to Wales and she sent him a post card to remind him. With in a week the money came with a nice card. I have a box of ! twenty or so old photos just sitting here unclaimed from an estate sale. But at least they did not go to the trash.What a crazy hobby I have. Thanks for the info. Oh, by the way. The name for the photographer is Neumann and the address is 59 Main Street. So that should help too. -Janet
