Welcome to Iowa Orphaned Family Treasures |
INTRODUCTION
Did you ever run across old family photos and think, "someone is looking for these?"
By posting such photos here you or others may gain a couple of possible benefits; someone may recognize someone in the photos, or someone else might find a grand parent, cousin or other family member.
Notes
Since 1998 these photos with text have been posted manually. This will continue until we can obtain an automatic query and photo posting system.
New page will announce changes or additions to this project as they happen.
Finally, although these photos were found in various counties of Iowa, the people in the photos did not necessarily live in Iowa. We have found photos in Missouri of families in Iowa, and photos found in Iowa were of families who moved on the Oregon.
You can use the search engine to find photographs. Photos may be listed in the county found and not necessarily in the county lost. Queries are marked as LOST or FOUND.
If you see an item that belongs in your family, contact the submitter directly to make arrangements for its return. Then contact us at Iowa Orphaned Family Treasures and let us know about your success!
