What a great result  :D ...so pleased they have been returned. They could so easily have ended up on ebay.
Thanks for the update.

I have just had an email from the contact mentioned in the original article. They have found a great grand daughter who has taken ownership of the suitcase. :) :D

At the time I put the tree together and worked out who's who..

Then we rang and left a message, this morning my call was returned by a family member.. I advised her to contact the policeman by email.

Then I read this article and it would seem I've wasted my time, as a family member is already located.

All I can say is "Brilliant" I would be gutted to lose them photo's if it was my family.

Welcome to Rootschat.
It is a good site for family historians and other topics. What surnames are you looking into?
