I just went through all the pictures I had in the house, I scanned many of them, then I sorted them out. I prepared a personal album for each of my children, grand and great grand kids. Since I inherited the family pictures from my parents, I sent cousins the pictures of uncles and aunts, it made some of them very happy they had never seen a picture of their parents when they were young,I was taught that something , you throw away can be a treasure for someone else.I sent pictures of the blessing of the cross to the people living in my grandfather old house, (The cross on the side of the road was erected in 1945 ,a vow made by my grandparents because WWII ended before my uncles were called in the army. I contacted towns, organizations, groups when I could explain the whens and the whys of the pictures I wanted to give them and receive lots of positive answers, It was certainly a lot of work, but all the efforts put give me a satisfaction, a family, a town or an organization is a continuity, older people will remember, younger ones will learn and respect what we call History.
