Is This Your Mother?

This is Edna. 

I found hundreds of images of her and her family, taken as early as 1948. The richly-saturated Kodachrome slides are meticulously labeled and organized, but offer few clues about her actual identity.  I'll post more here as I scan and prepare them. 

In the interim, check out Is This Your Mother?  on Facebook.

I'm attempting to use the power of social connections to find her surviving family.  How long will it take until one of her children or grandchildren (if she had any) will stumble accross her likeness on Facebook?   If they do, perhaps they'll want the photographs returned to them. Then again, maybe not.
