that happened the other day from being on Facebook

A relative of one of my aunts happens to have a public account, meaning that anyone can see any of the photos he's posted.

I would never have thought of looking at his stuff, and it was actually Mr Pipi who first discovered the photos of my mom's brothers and sisters from a long time ago

PLUS!!!

A photo of my mom's grandparents on her father's side.

From like 1901 or so, about 9 years before my grandfather was born.

So I've decided that I'm going to start checking out other people's facebook albums, and maybe even relatives of theirs whom I don't even know.

They can be awesome sources for articles and photos
