Don't overlook this! I ordered my GGrandfathers photo, John Ellison Carter.
It was a post Civil War photo of John and his wife, my GGrandmother! He was
the only one in his unit that had a photo there. On the back it said, "from
the Catherine Watkins Collection". Guess what, I found a new cousin, Catherine
"Kitty" Watkins! Kitty is an avid geneologist and she had a lot of information
to help me in my Carter research. This was due to ordering that photo!

I collect dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin!
I looked for my ancestors,....and I found friends.
I shook my family tree and out came a forest of friends.
