My Harrell side of the family is very blessed with photographs, and thanks to my first cousin Montreal Harrell for sharing her collection she inherited after her father passed away. Often , family members do not like to share their photographs. During the family gathering we can pull out our photograph collection and reminisce on the special times we shared with family and friends throughout the years.
Technology has made it so much easier to share photographs these days. Everyone has a camera on their phone and can instantly take , pictures of a photograph and make a copy of it. I did a little I used photoshop to create a graphic design with Grandpa Alexander and eight of his thirteen children. That's not a bad number to say the least. Many people wish they had photographs of their ancestors.
As a family historian and genealogist I really appreciate how Monteral manages her collection. She understand how important it is to preserve the images and most importantly sharing them with others family members who value the images. Many family old photographs are tucked away in shoe boxes, in dusty dark attics, and chester drawers. Every pictures has a story to tell.
