I recently bought a group of CDVs through eBay and only really wanted a couple of them. But they were inexpensive. A month or two later the seller wrote to me and said that a woman had contacted him because one of the photos was of her great-grandfather, and she wondered whether she could buy that photo from the person who bought the group (me). The seller said he would not disclose my identity to her, but he did pass along her email address. I was happy to just give her the photo. She and I have had some correspondence, as she is doing extensive research on this ancestor, who had an interesting life. Anyway, I wouldn&#039;t take payment for it. I do like to reunite photos with descendants when I can. And it&#039;s easy in cases where I don&#039;t have an attachment to the photo at all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
