I posted my Dad's picture on Facebook yesterday (yesterday's blog also) and now I have names to everyone in the picture -- Uncle Joseph Burkette, Great-grandmother Mary Button, Uncle Louis Burkette, Uncle Flipper Burkette, Aunt Christia Burkette "Aunt Peaches" and my Dad.
I also had very positive responses to my mother's class picture -- one of the women in the picture, Julia Bush, is a FB friend and she was so happy to share the picture with her family.
Yes, social media can be a wonderful thing!
On top of that, today my Mom gave me two suitcases of miscellaneous pictures to go through. I'm going to have a scanning good time (in my James Brown "Gonna have a funky good time" voice)!
Got to love the suitcases full of photographs even while worrying about the damage they may sustain jumbled up like that. I received my maternal grandparents photos in a little black suitcase.
ReplyDeleteYes & the games begin -- sorting, scanning, etc.
DeleteOMG! I love this Sandra! Congrats to you! [and I'm secretly jealous of the 2 suitcases of family pictures!]
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you!:)
My Mom is so into my "discoveries" of census records & such that she made me a loan of the suitcases.
DeleteGoing through those pictures will provide material for blog posts. Looking forward to your discoveries.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward, too : )
DeleteSandra you are very blessed to have suitcases of family photos to include in your family research; I am so jealous of your find - LOL!. No doubts about it, you are definitely going to have a scanning good time!
ReplyDeleteYes, I count my blessings as I take my time to sort through, question & scan!
