Subject: Found postcards and photos

Hi,

Although I live in Framingham, MA, my genealogical research is in
Pennsylvania and Maryland. Therefore, I don't subscribe to the
Massachusetts list.

I have been browsing in a local antiques coop. One booth has a number of
postcards and photos (most unmarked). I wrote down two family names and
wondered if you could post this information to the Massachusetts list in
hope of locating an interested party.

There are a number of postcards addressed to Miss Edith Collins of
Holliston, MA. Edith apparently married Arthur Jones. The writer alludes
to Edith's upcoming marriage and then there are postcards addressed to Mrs.
Edith Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones. It would be nice to get these
postcards back to the family.

Of the marked photos, I saw a couple belonging to the Travis family of
Framingham, MA. One is of Frank Travis. There may be more, but I didn't
have time to look at them all.

I have searched the Rootsweb surname listing and couldn't find a match for
either of these. These are just a couple I jotted down quickly. I could
go back for a more detailed listing. Can you suggest a way of posting
these in hopes of finding descendants? I can post to the Roots-L list, but that
is very broad. I will give it a try, though.

Thanks for your help.
Vanessa
