Update: This entire collection has
been found - thanks to Robert
B. Rathbun! A genealogist and researcher of the RATHBUN
name, he
saw one of the items on eBay which led him to
this website. Not knowing the family personally, he checked his
database and found that he did have information on them and was able to
contact Ellen! Ellen then sent me an email and within several days,
she was able to drop by my home to pick up her family pictures. I
explained our goal of photograph preservation and Ellen and her family
have agreed to keep the images on display for all Rathbun and Thompson
researchers. She has also included a genealogy report to include on
this site. The wonders of the internet - what a great tool for
genealogists! If you would like to contact Robert, is email address
is: Rathcrest@aol.com.
He also has a website where you can learn more about the Rathbun
family.

RATHBURN RATHBONE FAMILY HISTORIAN
This group was purchased at a garage sale on 7-Apr-2001
in Potomac MD. The seller said that
he cleans houses and received this collection from a house whose occupant had
died. This is all we know.
The collection was unbelievable as almost every picture was labeled. Those
which were not identified are marked as such. Some pictures are
believed to be around 100 years old while most appear to be from the 1920 -
1950s. I have various pictures grouped by surname as noted above.
