Not too long ago at the TAG meeting (The Ancestry Group; open to all), there was a presentation about some of the lesser-used and perhaps little-known resources available at Ancestry. Old Postcards were one biggee!
There are thousands of old postcards available to us! Click to Ancestry, then Card Catalog, and search for Postcards. Their collection of U.S. historic postcards numbers nearly 116,000!
Do a Google search for old postcards or historic postcards and you'll be delighted at the results. Some you can copy for free; others are for sale. But how fun it would be to have a photo of that tiny town where Grandma went to school? Or the church where they were married. Go looking!
