WHY I have all these photos? I don't know! perhaps because the universe knew that I would be the one that would take the time to ID them and try to find their descendants? no, but… it sounds similar to my recent successful search to identify a batch of old photos that were among those handed down thru our family, thru my GrGrandfather (I now know). tho with my mother dead, and me having inherited all these unidentified photos, from all branches of the family (all branches of my mother’s family, all branches of my father’s family, and as I now know… family friends as well!) it could have been anyone!
