<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jivvy, post: 408932, member: 8184&quot;]I post two places (usually) Deadfred.com and Ancestry.com.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>DeadFred.com is where I&#039;ve gotten the most inquiries from people who want the physical photos. The site is a great resource, but it&#039;s a bit of late 1990s coding and not as user-friendly as it could be. To be honest, though... I haven&#039;t had an inquiry from them in awhile. </p><p><br /></p><p>On ancestry.com, I use the information I have from the pics to build a family tree and attach the pics to the (I hope) right people. If you have an account at ancestry.com, it costs nothing to make new trees -- most people there are happy with the high res version of photos and don&#039;t care about the physical photos.&nbsp; I name the new trees something like FoundPhoto-SurnameSurname (depending on the number of photos and branches of family covered).</p><p><br /></p><p>And make it clear in my profile that people can contact me about any photos in the &quot;foundPhoto&quot; trees.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to contact people on ancestry to see if they wanted the photos (I charge nothing) and 2-3 years ago they did -- but I recently decided to stop that.&nbsp; Occasionally, people want them, but I&#039;ve had enough &quot;no&quot; responses that now I just post them in public trees and if someone contacts me about the originals, awesome.&nbsp; If not, I can see how many people save the digital files to their trees and that makes me happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
