Springdale, AR (PRWEB) April 26, 2005 -- It’s the time of year for families
everywhere to engage in spring cleaning, and DeadFred Genealogy Photo Archive
(http://www.deadfred.com)
offers a great solution for all those people who stumble across boxes of old
photographs in their closets, garages and attics.
While parents and
children will be donating clothing and other household items to local charities
such as Salvation Army and Goodwill, the Archivists at DeadFred Genealogy Photo
Archive challenge family members to post their stowed-away old family
photographs, whether identified or not, at one of genealogists’ favorite
destinations, DeadFred.com.
Honored by Family Tree Magazine as one of the
101 Best Genealogy Web Sites for three years running, DeadFred.com exists to
connect orphaned photos with their rightful families for free. Out of this sole
mission has grown a thriving online community revolving around a searchable
database that contains upwards of 49,000 identified and mystery photo records
for genealogy enthusiasts.
With over 505 photo reunions and 11,856
surnames as of early April, DeadFred.com gives visitors free access to multiple
ways to connect with family members and old photographs, including unlimited
database searches by various and combined criteria, discussion groups, school
annuals, the ability to upload and manage their own photo records and a popular
monthly e-newsletter.
Anyone who finds a photograph of a direct ancestor
will receive the original photograph for free (provided the original is owned by
the Archive).
DeadFred.com accepts ancestral photographs that are older
than 1960 of subjects since deceased. One can submit photos directly online at
http://www.deadfred.com or
send photos as donations to the following address:
Dead Fred
P.O. Box
6937
Springdale, AR 72766-6937
Photo donations sent by mail will not
be returned and become property of the Archive. Photos submitted online do not
become property of the Archive, and the Archive respects the privacy of the
submitter. Happy spring cleaning!
