If so I need your help! My niece and I found a digital camera. The only traceable information on the camera was a picture of the family visiting the below relatives grave site.
It was the tombstone for a Delores A. Byrd dob: Oct 15, 1955, dod: Jan 4, 2006. I am pretty sure she passed away in Ohio, maybe Troy or Union Oh area... Her husband's name is Dalous L. Byrd Jr. dob: Mar 1955. No date of death for him, so as far as we know he is still alive (or may be recently deceased). It was a double tombstone and only the female had a dod. Yeah, odd first name, I was surprised I didn't turn anything up on any of our "research" sessions (as my niece calls them). And yes, I have searched obit's in every way I am aware of... no luck.
There were also pictures of a vacation spot in South Carolina where the owners of the camera had taken a picture of a sand writing on the beach " The Byrd family Jun 09", however I contacted the resort and there is no record of the family staying there in 2009. The reservation office said it is very possible they stayed with someone and it was under the other another name...I was afraind of that.
The camera has about 4 years of family photos and events (two sd chips were with it also). We would love to find the owners and return the camera to them. Any help or tips would be appreciated!!! Just trying to teach my niece the fun of doing something that the normal Jane wouldn't do.
We have spent hours on the computer, if anyone knows a better way to find an address for the living husband Delous Byrd - please fill me in (oh yeah, short of paying a real detective or money to a website for info). I was hoping some public information would help us locate family members names, like a son or daughter of the deceased mother.
Feel free to forward this to anyone who you think could help!
Thanks in advance!!!!
