Sorting photos

This week I have been sorting photos and creating online albums where my fellow genealogy enthusiasts and dear cousins can look at the scans that I have. Perhaps with the help of my family we can put a name to the faces and faces to the names. :)

On the right side of this blog you will see "Genealogy Links". Click on any of the family files and you are taken to that album on Photobucket. Browse through photos and digitized records (census, marriage records, death certificates, etc) and if you would like a higher resolution of any of the photos, let me know and I'll see if I can get a higher res scan.

Right now I am focusing on my paternal lines, but I hope to have my maternal photos and source documents digitized and available, too. One thing at a time, right? :)

You probably received your census form this week in the mail. Please remember to fill it out and send it in. I am so grateful for the census takers of the past. They've given me so much information -- and I know the Lord will bless them for it! My mother was a census taker in 1980, and at the time I had no idea how important this work is... I was just sad because my mom was at work and I had to go to Grandma's house until my dad came to pick us up. I loved being with my Grandma, don't get me wrong, but being home with mom was what I really wanted.

If you have any photos you would like to share, please email me. I would especially like to find photos of my Kerley and Hardt ancestors. Oh, truth be told, I'd like photos of all of my ancestors! :)

Have a great week and happy hunting!
