Last weekend, I dropped by a new antique store here in Easton and was drawn to a much loved old photo album. What was once apparently a velvety cover has worn down to bare fabric. I was ecstatic to see that it was filled to the gills with old photos of various types. The price was right too, for such a treasure, and I snapped it up.
The proprietor of the shop knew which family had possessed the album before it made it to the store. As you can see from the cover, however, it’s not a family album (at least not their family) — it’s supposedly filled with their friends.
After a preliminary examination of the photos, many have information written on the backs or margins. Most of the photos appear to be from one family from New York. I’m going to go through the photos and the information they contain to see if I can track down the descendants of that family.
Oohhhhhhh wow. I am jealous. That is just gorgeous!
That is a cool project. I’m sure someone will be very appreciative when you contact them!
What a beautiful old album! Hope you can find the descendants of the people featured.
Thank you, all! I can’t wait to dig into this project and can’t believe my luck in finding this album.
This is a great find and should make for a wonderful project.
Thanks, Greta! I’m really excited about it. It’s one of my projects this weekend. 🙂
I guess it turned into a much more than just a “weekend” project! Congrats on all you accomplished.
