Hi, Christine, Thanks for your suggestion. It's a good one, except for the fact that there actually no longer is that much of a family, useful for these photos, to gather... : /. However, I have already by phone talked a lot to my aunt, a favourite relative of mine and kid sister of my uncle, now approaching her 80s, living in Sweden. And we've decided to get together come spring when she'll come visiting again. I don't want to wait that long, so I will send her a selection of photos to view and identify when she's spending Christmas with her sons (she doesn't use a computer). She will get some Christmas present for sure. Her brother shot a number of very nice portraits of her which she probably has never seen, as well as many other family pictures of her and her family. She and I (like my mother, her sister, who passed away ten years ago) both share this interest and joy of documenting and caring of "everything family", so to speak. I have also talked to a number of other people, relatives of my uncle's wife as well as just people from around here who remember him, events and places etc.. I also have a list of people, friends of his (in some instances also of me) who can not only be of great help to me, but probably also will be greatly surprised with many "new" great pictures of themselves, their family and friends, many of which are long gone. As soon as I get a useful selection of pictures gathered I will approach them, either bringing them prints or inviting them to come by for coffee and a show at my computer screen.
