Where are they?

My uncle recently died in his 90th year, and my cousins going through his effects have found photos and family tree info.
These include photos of myself from baby to age 6-7. Photos of my mother and her six siblings in their early years.
The tree info includes a couple of great uncles and aunts that I never knew about on my grandfather's side and info on my aunt's [his wife] side which I hadnt began to even look at.
Even the saddest of times sometimes brings forth a little joy.
I am busy today adding all the photo and info into the tree Db

That's great, gensleuth! And what a blessing that this stuff wasn't unthinkingly thrown out!

You're very lucky, Gensleuth ! Stuff like that is priceless, and is so often lost when people pass away.

How wonderful. I agree with others who have said, thank goodness the precious material was not thrown out. I am very happy for you that you have these treasures. 
I have some relatives who seem not to have had any pictures taken of them, or if there were pictures taken, they have been lost. So sad.
