to look at negatives. Or slides. I want to look at his stuff to see if I can find it and use it. . I still don't have the heart to really get into looking through his things. He passed away about 15 months ago.

My brother-in-law created family pages, one for each side. I don't think he shared a lot of things with whatever group he used. I am not diligent, but sometimes work on genealogy for my family. I have a birthplace, and family names, and have been looking now and then to learn more about my Dad's father. Smith is a common name My husband had a Smith on his mother's side and we were joking about being distant cousins. Great that you were able to share your family pictures with the state archive. That would make an interesting documentary.

I read that Bill Gates said, 'Who'd ever want more than 4 mgs of memory on a home computer?' hahahaha We fooled around with computers since we got a Commodore 64. I ended up with a good job working from home. My husband retired at age 55 and absolutely loved computers, the Internet and all the gadgets. He'd find articles and read about how to do something or use an accessory and then do it. At one point, we had 5 computers online for 2 people. I've got plenty of memory and still have 4 computers, a notebook and a Fire that are usable. Luckily, I don't have as many pictures as you have. I got part of the family pics, and my sister got the other part. I wish I could get some of the ones she has and I'm sure I have some she'd like.

I started scanning them last winter, concentrating on pictures that are damaged or fading, and sometimes, finding something so fun, I have to share it. My mother-in-law passed away last Oct. and I am storing her things. I was glad that John's brother and his wife sorted the pictures and took the ones they wanted. There are still plenty left for other family members, if they want them. If you have most of the family pictures, it is probably easier to make sense of the history and who's who.
