It doesn't matter how many l's or if you can spell. That is what makes some of these writing so wonderful, the mispelled words, the beautiful handwriting or the horrible handwriting. I have documents written by Great-Great Grandparents - some poor spelling, some great - no matter I treasure them all.

Your suggestion about the photos is so right on. When my Mother passed I brought all of her 1000's of photos home. They were a collection belonging to Great-Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Great Aunts and Great-Great Aunts. I started scanning. There was an envelope that said "Unknown". It was the last I did and as I scanned the photos, I started recognizing that I had seen that hair do, that dress, etc and was able to identify almost all of them.
Happy Trails.......................
