Reunited Photos with their family by using Ancestry.com

Several years ago I was given photos, by a relative who worked at an apartment complex. The photos had been left behind by its residents who had been evicted. My relative was hoping the pics were of some value and asked me to do research. As a child, my family lost many personal items for the same reason so I was more empathetic to the owners. I have been a long time member of Ancestry.com but it only recently occurred to me to use Ancestry. I started a tree with the info from the photos and, within 6 months, I found a descendant who was also on Ancestry.com! She was ecstatic! I have to admit it was just as exciting for me! Those were some beautiful heirloom photos. I had grown attached to them even more after doing the research. Recently, I had the priviledge of reuniting those family heirlooms with their descendants. Ancestry.com made that possible. I am so thankful. I hope someone would have done the same for me:D
