Rescued Postcards 1900-1918
Recently
I rescued 28 vintage orphaned postcards from antique shops. They range in date from 1900 to 1918. 27 are from United States and 1 is from Ontario Canada. I have
scanned and added 6 of these postcards to Lost Faces and will be adding
the rest of these wonderful cards over the next month. I hope descendants will see these postcards and recognize an ancestor.

I love how you do this! When I come across a really neat old newspaper article, I always try to find someone on Ancestry who is researching the person... and actually adding records!... to share it with. And, I've done it a few times with things I've come across on eBay, including a Bible! I might have to visit some antique shops and try to reunite some postcards. :)
