If you have old family snapshots, Sammy would welcome an opportunity to borrow those snapshots for posting to a site like those above or upload to Shutterfly for supplementing an album or creating a new album for all to share.   Any photo can be downloaded, from above links, and when accessing the albums extra prints may be ordered on line.    As some may be aware, in scanning images, resolution for printed photos are set differently than photos posted to web sites to conserve space. Images scanned to be printed are uploaded to shutterfly.com albums.    Loaned photos will be treated carefully and returned after completion of scanning.    Including a note explaining names and date of photo would be most helpful.

You may notice from above links that old photos are unique and tell a story regardless of their condition. The Amslers' family tree contains scanned photos from Newspaper clippings displaying William Tell (Papa) Amsler’s parents and grandparents, the Flatos. Papa’s grandfather Flato was one of the founders of Flatonia, Texas. The images were published in a souvenir program printed in 1973. This souvenir program was supplement to “The La Grange Journal”; “Moulton Eagle”; “Schulenburg Sticker”; Smithville Times”; “Tribune-Herald” (Halletsville). Such photos have an even more unique character.    When visiting sites and link back to this index page is omitted at bottom of page you may use back button to return to this page.
