Yesterday or the day before (some days run together here  LOL), I was inputting more family data in my family tree, sourcing and all and I got a hint.  That means that someone in my family tree is also in someone else's family tree. I went to check it out.  In the family tree, I found at least 30-50 photographs of my ancestors (well, our mutual ancestors).  I felt like I had hit the jackpot!  LOL  My goal, and I know it's a pretty steep one, is to have a photo, an obituary, a story, or some other kind of tidbit for each ancestor in my family tree.  Wouldn't that be wonderful?  I would like to one day have books made of our genealogy for my entire family and I thought this would be great if I could include at least a litle something on each ancestor.  So I emailed the person who posted the family tree and told her we have quite a few ancestors in common.  I did ask her about one photo in particular because there was a chapel which was named the same name as my gggg grandparents and I didn't know if she might have some backgound information about that chapel.  I also mentioned my goal and asked if it would be okay to add the photos to my family tree.  I let her know I would source them, so whoever looked at my family tree would know who and where I got them from.  I also mentioned that I have some photos that I could share, which hadn't been uploaded to my famly tree yet, of my ancestral line that might be of interest to her and that I would be happy to share them.  My question is this: was I out of line to ask if I could copy her photos?  What is the purpose of uploading the pictures if not to share them, is my way of thinking.  Is that wrong?  Did I go about everything correctly?  She hasn't emailed me back yet and I'm just wondering how she took my email.   I hope I hear from her soon.
