My own line origininated in Germany, but my Great Grandmother (Katharina…
I'm sure most people on here are saving these things, but the message needs to be sent out to those who are not genealogists, etc as to saving those old letters, etc. I am actually more of a historian than genealogist, and in that field, we…

Wendi, I have identified a few people by looking at other's photos. Sometimes school group pictures that are labelled can help. Ask any older people in your family that you can. Sometimes if you can ID one, you can id them in later years, as…
