Here is the start......They were in my home between the walls upstairs when we moved in. I have tried to contact the owners but the Husband passed before buying it, and she passed a few years ago. I Contacted to of the family members, and wanted to see what I have scanned, and mentioned I would love to finish and then give them back to them, but they do not 🙁

Wow, I wonder why the family doesn't want pieces of their history. Maybe I'm just a sentimental person and enjoy these old-timey pictures and documents. I dunno.

Are you uploading these to archive.org or anything like that?

They may not even know who any of these people are. At the last family reunion I was at, there was a big container of photos that are supposedly family members, and they wanted people to look through them to see if they could identify people and/or when they were taken.

I like the woman feeding a herd of chickens - kind of an austere quality to it.

My wife and I have several boxes of old photos in the garage of people no one knows who they are. Just can't justify tossing them out.

No boobies?

There is a bunch of cocks though 😀

And I personally will not throw them away, had them since 05 and now just getting around to actually looking at them all and picking out the best ones to scan, and there are MANY!

Wow that's really cool. There is something neat about seeing old pictures like that. I been meaning to setup some kind of time capsule and put it in my walls too, with pictures of inside the house, the neighbourhood, and the city in general. Maybe a couple newspapers too. Money would be cool to add too, since by the time it gets found they will have changed.

That is a awesome idea, maybe after I am done, go put them somewhere for the next buyer, though I told my son when I go, I am willing this home to him and his sister.
