OLD PHOTOGRAPHS, FREE FOR GENEALOGISTS

Genealogy has been my passion for over 50 years. When my husband and I travel, we stop at antique stores along the way. I buy vintage PHOTOS, DOCUMENTS, LETTERS, and SCRAPBOOKS, in hopes of finding something for my own family research.

I contribute information and photos to various genealogy web sites, i.e. Genealogy Trails (genealogytrails.com), County Historical Societies, and my own family tree on Ancestry.com. I also transcribe diaries, letters, and obituaries from scrapbooks for these web sites. That way they are available for the public.

A lot of research is done on each Carte de Visite (CDV), Cabinet Card, Tintype, and Photograph. I try to include some census record, or obituary to help identify the person or family.

Now it's time to share these vintage items with YOU. I sincerely hope you will find something of interest or value for your own family research.

Enjoy!
