Great Idea to put out to all researchers.
You know, we're all so bad about labeling the pictures that come out of our own cameras and we know all those people, but those Christmas cards. I have some that my parents got that I have NO CLUE who they are. Think they are old Army buddies but...so I keep storing them. Some aren't identified and if they are it may only be with "Bob & Jane"!!

Hi

I just wanted to share a idea with you, Christmas picture cards are getting
very common, We send them, and get them, from family all over the country.
Since many of us do save them, this years, I wrote on the back of each one I
got, who was who, and the jist of how they are related.

We got one from my hubbys second cousin kids, my daughter didn't know who
they were, even though we had seen them last year. So I figured, Date them,
write the parents name and grandparents before I put them away. It might be
a gold mine some day to future researcher, our G grandchildren a 3rd cousin,
who knows. Everyone I have talked to, does not throw them out. They get
stashed away in one box or another. So in 50 years, it might break down some
ones brick wall:-)

Just thought I would share the idea
