The mission of this website is to reunite these Lost & Found Ancestors with their families. I own the originals of most of the pictures depicted on this website and have collected them over the past few years, some online at sites like shopgoodwill.com & ebay, others at antique and thrift stores mostly in the Maryland, Virginia & Washington DC area but also places I've traveled including New York, Vermont, Georgia, Florida, New England. I've recently added collections from England & Germany too. Check back often as I continue to add photos.
