Shirley, Your grandparents sound like lovely people who put a lot of effort into staying in contact with people. For each postcard - Who was the sender? Who was the recipient? What information was communicated? When was the postcard sent? Where were the recipient and sender? Were any of these picture postcards? Of what? These postcards gives you a way mapping your grandparent's lives and how they influenced the lives of others. How fascinating! You might consider scanning each card, front and back, possibly with a small scanner (example: Flip Pal), and treating them as photos, which could be attached to Legacy, if desired, and adding short descriptions.
