Flickr thing

Well, Flickr is fun. I was not aware of what it was, I had heard of it and was meaning to explore it, and now I am really glad I got the chance to do so. I love to work on genealogy when I have the spare time. So the first thing that I thought of when I started reading about Flickr was that it would be a great way for people in my extended family to post their family photos and we could still have it be private. I have for years tried to institute a policy of sharing common ancestor's photos but people from the family either did not want to send photos for me to scan and post on my genealogy site, or they had privacy issues about posting the pictures on a public site. It sounds like Flickr may be the solution to my problems (in this area). Also, I tried a few family names and locations that I remember off the top of my head and found this beautiful photo of Stovin Island (). I did find some photos with family names that I recognize too! This will be another thing that I will definately be using in the future. ~~By the way, I have had so much fun with Finetunes from the last thing that I now have a play list of over 150 songs (accumulated from home, not work!).
