More of Grandma (Boyd) Palme's Photos

I've taken the photo albums and boxes of photos to share with several family members.  No luck in getting additional photos identified!  I've been numbering the photos.  If you can help in identifying the folks in them, I'd be grateful for the help.  And will make the updates to this site in order to share with the entire John Boyd clan.

Here's the next installment.  It's going to take several months to get them all scanned and uploaded.

Thanksgiving Treasures!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we spent time with a Boyd cousin.  She had found several boxes of old family history in the corner of her storage area.  These boxes belonged to my great grandmother, Ethel Adelle Boyd Palme.  They've been unopened since her death in 1957.  We spent a great deal of time studying unidentified photos.  Sharing family memories.

Here we go again!  Several hundred unidentified photos!!!  I'm going to get busy scanning and posting these photos.  Hopefully someone will visit this page and help us to solve these mysteries.
