Put together all snaps that contain that or those people and you may discover from the photos context who they are or where they belong in the genealogy. Fortunately for me, the cousin who was the major source of family photos and documents, Claudia Jane, had already identified many of the subjects on the back, in pencil lightly, if they had not already been done by her grandmother, Lou Edna. When her grandmother, my aunt, was fading over time my cousin asked, and was told she could have it all. It now takes up a whole bedroom in her house. I'm afraid quite a bit was left out of any order she had then in when we started. I could have copied several hundred more of people I did not know, my aunt's girlfriends from school in the 20s and 30s, and their families including visits to various SW geologic shrines. Some of the images I have are from the incredibly small (1"x 1.5") prints, some folded into sleeves or booklets. Hard to copy well. Others are just amazing images well over 100 years old, sharp, posed well. Keeping the eyes still for 30 secs to 30 minutes posed a real problem back then. Great explorations!
