May 3 - Do a good deed

May 3 – Do a good deed:  Purchase an orphaned family Bible or photo form a flea market and track down its rightful owner using Web sites such as BibleRecords.com www.biblerecords.com and Dead Fred.

This makes me think of a story one of my fellow members of my genealogy society told us last week. When he was a kid and he was fishing with his father, a military plane crash up in the hills near where his family lived. No one survived the crash and the military came and buried the wreckage.  After they left he and his father went to the site and found some items including dog tags of one the victims. This happened either in the late 20’s or early 30’s. He wants to find the family and return the dog tags. We all said he needs to share the information from the dog tags with all of us, so we all go try to find the family.
