So today my cousin asked me if I wanted to help him load some stuff for him. He buys storage auctions.. yes like on TV. he's been doing it for years. Anyhow today he bought one for $25. It was just a 10 x 10 full of boxes with paper. He didn't know why he bought it but just took a chance. In it was a large box of very old photos. some over 100 years old. some had writing on the backs and most don't. He wanted to throw them out but I held onto them. I brought them home and just wanted to look at them. I noticed all the ones that had writing on the back stated that all the families were from here San Antonio. I thought that was pretty amazing. Then I got curious and used my ancestry.com account and started to look up the names. I found one. Followed the family down the the living. Found a phone number and called them. Explained to them of my findings and they thought I was a crazy person at first. I told them I have a 99 year old photo of her family. She send her husband whos a police officer over to see what was up. I gave it to him and he called her to come over. She saw it and never knew the photo existed. She became very emotional and kept thanking me. I don't know if I could find all these other families as there are hundreds more. But I guess in my free time I could dabble in it. Any thoughts?
