There was recently an old family photo album dating back to the 1800’s purchased at an estate sale in Hillcrest last year. Right now there is an effort by a passionate group of volunteers known as the “heirloom archaeologists” on a mission to track down the family that this photo album belongs to. “The album holds the memories of the Green family, whose life in the 1890’s and early 1900’s is well documented and meticulously preserved in the album.” The organization known as heirloom archaeology does not charge heirs any money when it returns family heirlooms to them because they run entirely on donations.
