Request for Family Photos! And More!

This is a photo request post. I am compiling the Albert & Mary Park Family History book. I would love to be able to have copies of the following pictures: Any pictures of Grandma and Grandpa, especially ones from their childhood and early years of marriage.















Some of the pictures I have are not in the best condition. If anyone would like to e-mail or send me some others, I would be very thrilled. (Any paper copies would be returned, of course)

















I am also looking for wedding pictures of each of the original siblings. (Lillian, Grace, Bill, Bus, Mildred, Ann, Peggy, Marvin)












Past family reunion pictures would be wonderful, especially those that were repeated through the years like this one with the sisters.











And I also need current and past family pictures. These can be pictures taken at the reunions, a favorite family picture, etc.










Aunt Mildred and Uncle Stan have loaned me some pictures from Grandma Carney's family. This one is of Cora Ann Newton (Grandma Carney). I would love to see some pictures of Grandpa Park's parents. Does anyone have any they would be willing to let me make copies of?





In addition to pictures, I am still trying to get current information on all of Grandma and Grandpa's descendants. (Names, dates and places of birth, marriages and deaths) So far, I only have complete information from Bill, Bus and Marvin's families. I talked with Judy on the phone yesterday and she is going to send me information on Aunt Grace's family. Vanessa sent me info from just her family, but I still need the rest of the Schnees. I also need Aunt Ann's, Aunt Mildred's and Aunt Peggy's. (I have the first, second and third generations...it is the fourth and fifth generations that I still need)

If you are still with me, I have one more request. Please send me your memories of Grandma and Grandpa. It can be from past reunions, from growing up years...visits to their house, anything you remember; a sentence, a paragraph, a couple of pages...I will gladly take anything I can get! Thank-you!

It sounds like there will be a lot of us coming next year. I am getting real excited. In my next post, I will tell you about some of the fun things we have planned.
