yikes..
I would think twice..thrice...before destroying any picture that you KNOW who it is....
My mother was able to link some family members together..just by using an old labeled 
photo that was lying in a box of other things..

Check with 2nd-3rd cousins...anyone.....that might be related....
sheesh......
It scares me to see people thinking about burning old photos....and yes, I can 
understand your concern about making money....but
the history, the linking of families...that a picture or two can do....

*think twice..before burning..please*

  Good Morning,
  I'm back about more photos. We went to an antique show
  yesterday in Tacoma and it was appalling the amount of
  family photos that were for sale at prices  from a minimum
  of $10 each to over $50! My husband and I made a
  decision to  check with our children & nieces & nephews
  and see what photos they  wanted......the rest will be
  burned! We have no desire to look down, or up,
  as the case might be and see our photos scattered about to make
  people money. Back to my reason for writing this.

  There was an album with photos and  clippings about
  GRACE TOLSON, Omaha & Lyons, who was Miss Nebraska in
  1926.  Had photos & newspaper clippings about her trip
  to Texas to vie for the Miss America crown. The album
  was not in very good condition and the dealer wanted
  $75 for it. I had no family interest in it and was unwilling
  to spend that much to see if I could find the family.
  However if anyone is related to GRACE TOLSON and
  would like to acquire the album please contact me directly
  as I have the dealer's card with address/phone/fax number
  and would be glad to  furnish it to anyone interested.
  Thanks and a nice day to all, Gretchen from Washington State.
