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* *sheri* in spokane ----- Original Message ----- From: richhart To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 10:56 AM Subject: [LDS] genealogical interest--old photos from another list... passing it along! [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
