A lot of pictures were taken by my father, who died in 1948, so I
presume I can just use them.
What do I do with pictures taken between 1910 and 1917, obviously by a
professional, but on which
there are no markings indicating who? Most in Phillipsburg, NJ. And
what about a picture
of my father on his 1923 high school football team? I have no idea who
took it, and do not know how
to get hold of the Yearbook it appeared in.
Or am I worrying too much?
