Tried out Flickr today...

...it is pretty cool! I searched on the town my father grew up in Artrip, Virginia - population 20 or so - and found a pic of a swinging bridge that I have photos of myself. I have walked over that bridge and it was interesting to see that it has been condemned.

I think libraries can use Flickr for genealogy. Maybe we can search on names and find photos of our ancestors.

A population of 20 people . . . was it one of those towns where one person was the sheriff, mailman and clergyman?

No, only farmers. They had to got to Lebenon for church or mail. There was a mailman but no post office.

Interesting idea about posting old photos. Never thought about putting up the old stuff.
