Do you or a friend have an old license plate you no longer need? For 25 years I have been gifted license plates from all over the globe which line the walls of my garage. Today someone hand delivered a 1976 Newfoundland plate! RT #LicensePlate

Today I adopted this unknown couple. The ancestors of hundreds, perhaps thousands. The #daguerreotype was copied as a carte de viste ca. 1860s. But no name or photographer... Word to the wise PRINT OUT & PUT NAMES on your photos or they may be sold on #ebay someday for $4.00 someday too! #Genealogy
