Old photos on Ebay - look for your family name
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 22:22 BST (UK) »
MarkyP has a similar thread on Family Bibles :
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,320001.msg2008036.html#msg2008036

I thought people might be interested in a similar thread for old family photos / photo albums.

I only intend adding items where family name is identified.  I'll try not to miss any.



MODS - I appreciate it may be more appropriate to have this thread on the for sale boards.  However, to reach a wider audience, I have placed it here.  I have no personal interest in the sale of any of these items and is for information to other RChatters.

No Deb, I often look for photos in the off chance that I'll see something of interest to me.  I was inspired by MarkyP's thread (mentioned already). 
Since I'm looking anyway, it is very little work to cut and paste to RC.
Anyway, here's a few more.

Hi Tricia, I hadn't noticed them.  I've had a look now.  I'm glad you feel the same way as me about reuniting photos with their family.
However, I thought it was a good idea just to have them all in 1 place that folk can refer to.  I see that 1 of your threads turned into a discussion and that's not my objective with this thread.
If you agree, I'd be more than happy for you, or anyone else, to add any named photos or albums that are for sale on ebay to this thread - I'm bound to miss some.
It's my intention to add current items to this thread on a regular basis.
Dave

asgaard,
Really like the idea of the school photos.  Easily identifiable.
Thanks for contributing.
