Cats rule!!!

Please honestly represent your items.
Get a reward greater than money: Get the satisfaction of reconnecting a dead person's belongings with their living relatives!
When selling personal items that were acquired at an Estate Sale, please consider first searching for a living relative. Families are so spread out across the country and can't make a trip to handle estate sells personally. Many of their precious family items (that they were not aware of in the first place) slip away at these sales. Do what you would want people to do for you: make an honest effort to find next of kin.
If that fails, try searching WorldConnect at RootsWeb.com for them. The family genealogist would be a responsible person to connect. Visit my genealogy web site: McCLENDONs at RootsWeb.com for more genealogy links.
