This person had no surviving family members, and the home she lived in was a rental. The owners hired a company to empty the home. Most went to various charity organizations but much was placed in a dumpster - including many photo albums (I managed to rescue an extremely old one). Many times, when photos are trashed or end up in fleamarkets, antique shops etc., it is because there was no one left to inherit them and love them, which is even sadder.lalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175627717826309153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-71323193650790467242013-01-21T13:36:10.445-06:002013-01-21T13:36:10.445-06:00What lovely tresors to find in the dumpster.

I was at a favorite antique mall several years ago and saw a picture that just spoke to me of a sweet little girl and boy. The name of the photographer and town where his shop was located was on the photo. There was the name of the children on the back of the photo. By having the names and name of town where it was taken I tracked a granddaughter down through ancestry.com. Mailed the photo to her and she was so happy to have it. It seems there had been a divorce and the second wife wasn't keen on the pictures being in the house. <br />melindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-66768882793412371752013-01-21T09:14:13.199-06:002013-01-21T09:14:13.199-06:00What treasures.

I can't believe that somebody threw those out! I get sad just seeing an old photo at an antique store! I always wonder "isn't there some family member who would want these?" Maybe not. Maybe nobody knows. Still, it's sad. I have pictures of relatives I never knew. I'm scanning them all onto CD's for my sister and me. I already did my mom's side and gave a disc to my cousin who lost all of her's in Hurricane Katrina. I always take pictures at family gatherings and sometimes just because I want to keep what myh silly grandkids are doing. I even have pictures of all my dogs I've had! I'm the family historian and I think it's so important to keep these memories! Are there any names on any of the photos that you can research? Maybe there's a local web site where you can post a few and ask if anybody recogonizes the people? If they can't be returned to the family, it's so sweet that you've adopted them and I liked your story!

And remember, if someone has decided to discard old photo's,your public library often has a genealogy department and they love to get photos and letters from families in their town. Our genealogist keeps folders on every family she researches in our county and she loves to put photos with the information. Often, I've seen a patron come in, look thru a folder, and exclaim "that's a picture of my family member"! Or, that is a photo of great-grandmothers house! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures,<br />DorothyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897188995077538371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-28184634840208099312013-01-18T13:11:37.971-06:002013-01-18T13:11:37.971-06:00How sad!

I used to work in a thrift shop and I can't tell you how many times photos came threw. Photos of families, children, wedding, old yearbooks with love letters, military, military medals. So sad. Several times believe it or not someones ashes. My hope was that they were donated by mistake. Whenever possible I would try to track down the owner, but more times than not I just couldn't. Bless you for what you have done. I cherish all of my family photos and so do my children. My oldest daughter asked me the other day if I would make a scrapbook of Mamaw and Papaw for her birthday in October. I made a cookbook for my youngest daughter several years ago full of recipes her Mamaw and I made as she was growing up. I want to make the grand kids each one. Preserving family history is so important!<br />Hugs,<br />Pam<br />scrap-n-sewgranny.blogspot.com Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846588159858067404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-39027277572503740632013-01-18T12:57:49.841-06:002013-01-18T12:57:49.841-06:00oh that is so sad but glad they found a new home w...oh that is so sad but glad they found a new home with you. i love the family history you gave them.<br />i wonder if the house was robbed and they looters just tossed what they didn't want? that happened with my grandparents house, not photos but stuff they decided they didn't want they just dumped. luckily it was somehow found and returned.<br />by the way, i'm really enjoying visiting all these blogs in your white blog hop! :)Tanya Breesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949602989774270159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-23092449391901086802013-01-18T10:10:02.380-06:002013-01-18T10:10:02.380-06:00I have to wonder if these were accidentally left b...I have to wonder if these were accidentally left behind during a move and the next tenants didn't bother to find out who might be missing these.

After calling around families with the same last name, two sheepish young people showed up to claim it. They had accidentally included it with the other books when their grandma died. I made them pay $1 as a reminder to take better care of their family history. They gladly paid.Maureen Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717877610585066150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803438449305071948.post-57196017831552840572013-01-17T23:15:23.804-06:002013-01-17T23:15:23.804-06:00How heart breaking!

I have a lot of old family photos and will hang onto them until the next generation doesn't know who they are or want them and the same thing will happen to them. I hang on to them but I doubt my kids will. How sad.
