Un-named Old Photos

Since I started tracing my Family tree I have noticed how frequently our parents and grandparents either neglected to name people in their family snapshots or just labled them , for example, 'Mums sister' or 'Uncle Alf'.
I myself have a box of about 400 wonderful old family photos - with absolutely no idea at all who the people were and how they are related to me.
With the now advent of digital photos it is probable that this problem is going to get worse.
I have tried identifying them through the photography studio marked on the back but most of these are now out of existence.
Does any-one else share my frustration about this issue.?

I can quite understand what you mean, so being one of the Oldies of this world I have now well over 15 albums....300 photos each, for the generations to come, years on the outside, and well marked, after all they may only be interested in certain dates so can happily do it alone in their own time without having to sit at a player or computer for hours,there can be times when the latest gizmos are not always the best.
