LOWREY OLD PHOTOS/TEXT/DOCS PROJECT!!

Hello Fellow Genealogists!

I am trying to make a collection of Old LOWREY photos (with info, as well, to put the photos in "context") as a useful "reference" tool, for us all.

I am collecting/compiling and indexing, any Old LOWREY photos (up thru 1960- but prefer earliest possible) in JPEG/GIF formats (ONLY)-sent as attachment w/email to me -including as much info known about person(s) IN the photo(s) IN the BODY of that email's text (ie-the written message area of an email!!)--such as....

name/dates birth/death/marriage; from whom they descend (if known); whom they married, or names of children; what they did for livlihood,etc.,etc.

I will complete this project w/in the next 2 1/2-3months-and anyone who submits an image to me---will receive a compiled photo booklet and access to the LOWREY Family photo/info website, when it is completed.

Also jpeg/gif images of Documents/Text are welcome (as again, this adds "context" to the person in photo's life)--such as scanned b/m/d certificates;
military photos; typed pages of family history; sketches of family tree image;

and/or Gravesite HEADSTONE pix; scanned images of pension/military/ citizenship/medical records; yearbook photos; news clippings;or scans of family bible pages,excerpts from letters/diaries,etc.,etc.

Anything that adds to what is known about the person whose photo you are submitting! (NOTE: Please just NO CENSUS Images, though- (as Ancestry has all these already!!)-thanks!)

Please make the jpeg/gif no larger than about 7x9 inches, preferably around 5x7-ish--definitely No LARGER than 2MB (not quite 8 1/2 x 11 in. size!!)

I hope to make this a really helpful TOOL for all of us LOWREYs --(and any related lines you wish to submit--such as those we married-in "with" or of those of surnames that married "into" us!).

Thanks ever so much---Vienna George.....

Email me (w/ text info in body of same email to which is sent as attachment the jpeg (or gif) image) , to.....

Vienna_Loves_Genealogy@yahoo.com

Many thanks Cousins!!!---Vienna

NOTE: This is foe ALL LINES (& Spellings-as spelling not "set" til 1900s) of this Surname--due fact we may THINK we are NOT related-but go back further and find we come down from either the SAME patriarch or siblings----or two un-related lines intermarry--and then, of course from there on down they ARE related--and also from all originations as many families started out in one country--only to later be in another-but may be the same family after all!! (ie- PROJECT IS OPEN TO LOWREY, LOWRY,etc.)
