A Wedding Book and other stuff is looking for a home.
I had a message (on Ancestry) from 'Claudia' -
"I bought a box at a estate sale in KY.In this box was a box with a wedding book from 1949 several pictures ,newspaper clippings and a beginning of a ancestry chart for the bride and groom.The bride is Betty Mills and the groom is Joe F. Anthony son of Sam Anthony. ... No one was sure how it came to be in the sale but said it may have been bought in another box at a sale as the person who owned it had collected old books related to ancestry. I have counted over 90 names and many of them prominent residents of this town & and Wichita Falls Texas in this book . My hope is that some one in the family can help me return this treasure of a time capsule to the Mills or Anthony historian interested in the contents.I am not seeking payment for this .If you can help please contact me. Claudia"

I'm passing this on as a service.

Thanks Lynski,
Yes, I've checked both here and at ancestry. Worth mentioning though, I'm famed for missing the b. obvious.

Thanks Rose,
I've passed the link to Claudia. As she is 'on site' she's in a better position than I to find the people.

Rgds, Dave.
