I am finding that organizing and labeling takes longer than the scanning.

The thing about the older photos not being labeled is that no one is left to help ID and with fewer photos taken back then, maybe an ID for the photo lost forever.

They have a great deal of information that they make available to anyone seeking their genealogy. They even print it out for you. So I now have the info on both of my parents families back to 1740's. Unfortunately they don't have photos. I have some but would have liked to have many more.<br /> Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-2398127292581814832017-02-09T13:30:17.565-06:002017-02-09T13:30:17.565-06:00Very interesting.

No one in the family is interested in trying to find our who they are!

And although we went through them numerous times, I don't know what my sisters did with the ones we didn't recognize.

Now we are dealing with the same problem on my hubby's side of the family. Pleas remember to label photographs. Even on the computer label them. Good luck with this project.linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.com
