<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 59591, member: 201&quot;]I&#039;m bothered, too, by historical or personal things that have been separated from families.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been able to reunite some items with ancestors... like a guy who bought a couple of used postcards that he thought had been mailed to his grandparents (or great grandparents?). He was really excited about finding them.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I list postcards or ephemera that have surnames and/or locations I usually put that info in the title. It always feels great to send something back to where it belongs, even if it&#039;s just the physical location where it started out.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a personal note, I have a real dilemma with some of my own items. We don&#039;t have kids and no younger relatives we&#039;re close to who would be interested in them. Plus I have items that belonged to my uncle, who didn&#039;t have children, either. He was a somewhat well-known animator and some of his items may be more collectible if I attribute them to him. I feel funny doing that, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
