Lineage

I worked on organizing and hanging some ancestral photos today! Some of the people pictured here were born in the mid 1800's
wonderful to have such keepsakes

How neat, and it is so exciting to put family history into something you are able to visualize like this. I have purchased some vintage bubble glass frames, and other vintage frames on E-Bay for some photos, but I have not the wall space I need to do this. I must make room. This is such a cool idea.

Well done... :)

@digitalrn Thanks, Rick! i didn't know you could buy the bubble glass frames! Two of these pictures have that and I wish the others did!

@marilyn thanks so much! The one in the middle is grandma R and her family! The man on the right is our family and the rest are Phil's family!

@grammyn Oh they have some nice ones on E-Bay, and really reasonable tto. You just need to look at them and read the description to make sure they are not damaged. The ones I have bought, I then take the frame to a place like Hobby Lobby where they will cut a matt, and actually put it in the frame for me. It can be a littlk etricky getting the photos to fit in those odd shapes. You must check it out. They have otehr old frames too, some really nice heavy ones.

Great collection--I love old photos. I scanned some of them to share with relatives and got so intrigued I began to research my family online.

Priceless! My Family's heirloom photos (and there aren't many) are my most prized possessions:)

@eudora thanks, Diane! funny you should say that because as I was trying to find out who the people were so I could write on the back of the photos I started doing the same thing!

@vskolnik Sooner or later we all want to discover our roots and it is great to have the photos to go with it!

This is a wonderful collection of family photos. I like to see vintage family portraits framed, on a wall.

My sister did extensive research on our family ancestry. She was able to connect with relatives back east and down south on the internet, and they exchanged lots of info and family photos.
The internet opens up so many doors to so many things....um, like photography! ;-)
