<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3819251, member: 33"]Thanks! I appreciate it. There are also several Facebook groups for this kind of thing. So, I know about them and I know the research methods (being a librarian, and a genealogist and all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />). I just have too many (probably dozens) that could use this kind of research, if I was so inclined. At this point I'd rather spend time on my own research. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I regularly check on Find A Grave and if I am certain one of my photos is the same person on the memorial, I will upload a scan of the photo to that record. Interestingly, somebody recently contacted me about a photo I added to Find A Grave three years ago. It was a member of a historical commission or committee in the town where the young woman in the photo lived. Apparently about 40-50 years after the photo was taken she was the first (or one of the first) women who voted in that town, after it became legal. They wanted to use my scan in a presentation. So I sent them the original scans, since it's probable that Find A Grave resizes the photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

So, I know about them and I know the research methods (being a librarian, and a genealogist and all ;)). I just have too many (probably dozens) that could use this kind of research, if I was so inclined. At this point I'd rather spend time on my own research.
