Sadly, in our brave new monopoly world, Ancestry.com bought it;

However, if you use the search engine at top of screen search names it’s free & you might find some of your aunts direct deceased relatives.

So you can take pics of album & add to any family tree she belongs to.

Learn about gedcom files that make marrying new info to existing family trees.
