They have given the Family History Center 3 boxes of pictures. After looking at some of these pictures we have decided that they are pictures that individuals have given to the Citizen to put into their paper. From the looks of them they date back approximately 20 years. Some have names on them, very few have phone numbers. If you would like to check and see if any of these pictures belong to you please come to the Family History Center and you can go through the boxes. Some are very nice pictures some just snapshots. We would really like to return these to their rightful owners. ====
