How weird is this?

How weird would it be if the local history nerd called you out of the blue and said that they had a photo of, say, your great grandmother and wanted to get it back to you?

Re: How weird is this?

  • Weird but cool.
  • I love doing the detective work but feel like such a freak when it comes time to actually contact someone. Usually I can avoid it by finding an address to just mail it to but I have one that I need to call on.
  • A little unexpected, but I think I'd be touched that they went through the trouble, and appreciative to have the photo.
  • That would be awesome.  There's only one known picture of my great grandmother.  I KNOW, my mom would be thrilled to have a 2nd one.

  • Weird, but endearing.

    When my uncle passed away last year, I found his obituary and a picture of him on this website: findagrave.com

    It made me feel a little violated, but I get why people are doing it.

    People feel differently about family information posted online. I personally won't post anything online that isn't for a member of my own family and then I hold some things back. I have not only an obituary but actual medical records from a relative who committed suicide at the end of an out of control relationship with a married man. I wouldn't dream of sharing that, even though it is already part of the public record.
