I want to apologize if I have offended anyone with my recent posting of "Strangers in the Box". It seems as though I have been contacted by a list manager that says it has nothing to do with her county. She no longer wishes me to post anything like this on her site. I will abide by her wishes. However, the loss maybe great for her subscribers. This is the only complaint that I have received.
I made sure that I had permission from these subscribers to post their ideas before I posted the response to "Strangers in the Box".
I have "several, several" people who have
thought that these were good ideas. Ideas that they had not thought about.
This posting has caused other people to share their ideas of what has worked
for them. AND it has caused other people to think about getting this
information before it is too late. Furthermore, ideas and positive feedback
is still coming in that I haven't shared with anyone.
I thought everyone interested in genealogy would like to know how to
best preserve their family history. Because once it is gone (documented
family pictures), it is gone!!!! And it doesn't make any difference what
county we live in or what county our ancestors came from.
If anyone out there would like to know the good ideas from others who have responded to this posting, you may email me privately as I do not want to get into trouble with anyone. I don't know why it is you have to come across sour apples from time to time but I guess that is what makes life interesting! It keeps us on our toes.
Have a blessed day!

PS I do collect stories, poems, etc and have all my life on certain subjects. I do have a nice collection genealogy related if anyone is interested in a list you can contact me privately. mjfent(a)bellsouth.net. I feel that this "trivia" (as some call it) only adds to my family history gives me a better understanding.
I received permission to post these ideas on family pictures.
Jane Foley
Jane; What a perfect poem. When my Mother died, I found about 200 negatives
of pictures taken 1920's to 1950's. Had to find a photo studio that had the
equipment to develop these large negatives, some were 2 x 2 inches. I made
several booklet form copies and mailed out to any living relatives, they
would write the name, date etc. that they knew, mailed it back to me, then
I would let everyone know as many names as we all could figure out. What a
job!! Took months and money.
Sharon Wallis Klassen
AMEN to that, Jane Foley!
I have 'inherited' all my great-aunts papers, including pictures of our
family members that I'd never seen before. No names on anything!
Anne
How fortunate for you to have 'inherited' all this wonderful information and
pictures. A suggestion I would like to make is to take these pictures to a
Family Reunion (even if you have to organize one yourself), spread them out
on a table and have everyone look and try to help you identify the family
members.
Of course, this may not help unless you have some of the "older" generation
present but you won't know unless you try it. Invite people from the
community where the family grew up. Make sure you get the word out about
the "get-together" and ask anyone to come that is interested in that family
or
knows anything about the family. I wish you luck!
Margie
Thanks for this Jane;
I have been for some time trying to identify as many as I can from my
grandmothers old photo album (1875-1967) and my wife's mothers box of old
pictures (1902-1993)
I have been unable to find anyone still living who can identify more than
10% of the people. I know some of those who "old folks" in the more recent
photos have got to be some of the "youngins" in the older photos. My wife
and I have started going through all our old photos and putting name,
places, and dates as best we can. I am also scanning them all and putting
the info on each one on the CD. We are now 72 & 70 years old and have a lot
of pictures going back to our junior high school (or I guess they call it
"middle school" today)
Thanks again

Permission to Post
It is so important to put the names of people on the back of pictures and also dates and even places because there maybe family in the future who don't know who the people are in the picture.

STRANGERS IN THE BOX
COME, LOOK WITH ME INSIDE THIS DRAWER
IN THIS BOX I'VE OFTEN SEEN,
AT THE PICTURES, BLACK AND WHITE
FACES PROUD, STILL, SERENE.
I WISH I KNEW THE PEOPLE
THESE STRANGERS IN THE BOX,
THEIR NAMES AND ALL THEIR MEMORIES
ARE LOST AMONG MY SOCKS.
I WONDER WHAT THEIR LIVES WERE LIKE
HOW DID THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS?
WHAT ABOUT THEIR SPECIAL TIMES?
I'LL NEVER KNOW THEIR WAYS.
IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD TAKEN TIME
TO TELL WHO, WHAT, OR WHEN,
THESE FACES OF MY HERITAGE
WOULD COME TO LIFE AGAIN.
COULD THIS BECOME THE FATE
OF PICTURES WE TAKE TODAY?
THE FACES AND MEMORIES
SOMEDAY TO BE PASSED AWAY?
MAKE TIME TO SAVE YOUR STORIES
SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN IT KNOCKS,
OR SOMEDAY YOU AND YOURS COULD BE
THE STRANGERS IN THE BOX.

August 6, 2005 will mark the fifth year that descendants of "Yankee John" Church will descend upon tiny Jefferson, North Carolina to visit family and friends. The hundreds of participants attending the reunion over the past few years have met family members they didn't know they had and made new friends in an area of the country known for it's beauty and hospitality. Family members from California to Florida and from Washington state to Chesapeake, Virginia will again exchange genealogical information about Church ancestors. All Church descendants are welcome. Old "Yankee" had a lot of children and his kids had a bunch as well.
