SMH

Especially the football teams, one of which is from 1924. I suspect that has my 13 year old grandfather in it somewhere. The church group photos are with my adult grandfather, but I doubt my mother or aunt know the other people in those photographs are.

A little rant about "Picasa", that was a nice program forsaken by Google.

Thanks, I'll have a look after I get back from vacation. For now everyone has to deal with the unedited scans.

We're going to visit my aunt and uncle later this month and my cousin and her husband will be there, too. So, let's see if I can get some names from them.

The envelope with the loose pictures also contained my grandparents' birth certificates in it, my grandparents' "family book" (where they're marriage was registered and the births of their children were also registered) and the certificate for my grandfather's knighthood. So I scanned those, too.

I'm now ordering USB sticks so I can get everyone their own copy.
