Searching for Lost Photos
« on: Thursday 05 February 09 16:27 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I know this sounds a strange request but please can anyone advise if there are any websites to search for lost photos.

All my family photos disappeared during a marriage breakup. The chances are they were destroyed but it maybe some would have ended up in a boot sale maybe or found. Its a long shot but one I would like to pursue.

Would be grateful for any ideas or suggestions

best wishes

Hi Sue,

I stumbled across this website the other week:

http://genealogyphotos0.tripod.com/

Geared more perhaps towards people's unidentified photos...but then, you never quite know how they've acquired them I guess!!

Also, as has been suggested on here in the photographic section, you could also try searching the likes of Ebay for photos, using the surname you're interested in as the search phrase??

Regards
