Recently, I got through my genealogy back-log and have filed everything in my binders (up to 4 main volumes now) and input it, where possible, into the computer. This left some of the items that aren't "inputtable": pictures and photographs.

In the last several weeks, after receiving several family photos from Ann McLea and Cynthia Cook Winterhalter, I had scanned them and photoshopped them, with the goal of incorporating them into the FamilyWiki. I will get to this in short order now that the files are all ready for use.

But this also brought to mind the treasure trove of my own photos I have been meaning to scan. So, last night I got down to business.

I spent about 5 hours just scanning photos.

  • Pictures of Holly and I
  • Pictures of Holly and her brother as children
  • Pictures of my mother's family (the Clements and related families)
  • Pictures of my grandmother's family (the Spurrs, Blacks, Cowies, and related families)
  • Pictures of my immediate family
  • Pictures of my grandfather's family (the MacLeas and related families)

I spent some time thereafter organizing, naming, and photoshopping these photos. But, there's a little ways to go. Hope to get through all of that tonight, and perhaps this weekend I can spend some time putting these photos into the FamilyWiki! Should make this a lot more interesting to read!
