When I was in Sweden years ago I was shown some of the places where ancestors had lived and I wanted to put these pictures with the locations. Some even had buildings going way back. I'd like these picture to be associated with those locations. I also have pictures of some buildings built by an ancestor in the 1780's. Suggestions?
