Returning Photos to the Family — The Photo Angel

Kate Kelley is the Photo Angel and she has taken on the task of finding old photos in antique shops, garage sales and contributions through the mail and returning them to the descendants of the people in the photos. 

It all began with a pile of labeled photos of non-relatives that were mixed in with my grandparents’ old family pictures. Were they friends? Classmates? War buddies? Neighbors? I was determined to find out. 

So I started poking around genealogy websites and BINGO! I immediately began connecting with relatives of the photographed. Now I’m hooked! I love to visit antique stores to thumb through their pictures in my quest to find those that are labeled so that I may return them to their family members. One woman affectionately dubbed me, “The Photo Angel” which was just so sweet.

The purpose of this project is to document success stories and inspire others to search their dusty attic boxes for photos with identifiable information and join in the fun! Happy Hunting!
