I must admit I was slow to think of seeing (via Google) if there was a lcoal history society, but it has proved such a valuable contact - and one worth sharing.

Great idea to contact local organizations for photos and/or records for our ancestors. <br /><br />It's hard to understand why people dispose of photos without thinking of someone in the family who would be happy to take them. Such a shame all of your father's photos were thrown away. Imagine he'd be happy to know you've found this special photo of him as a boy.Queen Beehttp://www.beeskneesdaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-14924739272967627882012-08-29T20:38:18.594+01:002012-08-29T20:38:18.594+01:00Good reminder about contacting local societies and...Good reminder about contacting local societies and archives. I have done that often in the town where I grew up, but have completely neglected the towns where my dad and his siblings lived. <br /><br />Wonderful that this photo found its way to you. I always get a catch in my throat when I hear of lost or destroyed family photos. My poor grandmother mourned her lost photos for the last half of her life.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-91364573385658820432012-08-29T13:17:23.003+01:002012-08-29T13:17:23.003+01:00Wasn't that a wonderful find, and all just for...Wasn't that a wonderful find, and all just for the asking.
