Let ebay do the work for you.

Hello, What I find very useful is to have ebay do automatic searches for me. I request specific surnames, specific towns/cities/states, time frames, specific year / city directories, yearbooks. I have it set up that I receive daily emails if ebay has found anything related to my request. If I don't want it I delete it. However, every so often I get an absolute family gem. I probably have about 20 searches going at one time. Hope this helps, Cheryl3751

Hi, type in the name/words you want to search, click search, then choose *save this search* it appears above the items found next to how many items found between the yellow and grey bars a couple of inches down from the top.

Cheers
Jamie

Hi all, I have been adding searchs for surname, street address, and companies my ancestors worked for and I have found quite a few family treasures. With postcards you get to see how the town looked "in their day", find cemetery postcards from a particular city and often company trade cards. Don't forget to seach findagrave, you can often find family members graves added by others. Happy Hunting!
