I am a member of several societies relating to genealogy research in the state of Virginia and I just wanted to post this web link for those of you out there that may be looking for lost family photos.

The owner of the site is actually selling them, some are only $7 each, so take a look as I’d hate to see someone buy your treasured photos!
Another site you may be interested in are some obituaries dated from 1790- 1940!

Good luck and happy hunting! I hope you find something that relates to your family history search within these links! 🙂
