I am the collector of stuff in my family. I have copied relatives picture albums and have names on most of them. I am doing something now that a lot of genealogists don't agree with. I am using Adobe Elements and putting names right on the face of the picture with dates if known. Some think that this ruins the picture. However, I would rather see the names rather than an unnamed picture. I put groups of pictures on DVD and family can enjoy watching them and they can identify them. "Oh look, there is Aunt Jane when she was a teenager". It is really fun to hear all the comments. Also, this sometimes gets the younger folks interested in the relatives from the past.
