Diehl descendant located

Today I made contact with Jim C, who is a direct descendant of Christian and Anna Maria (Foster) Diehl. My grandfather had given me 2 Diehl old photograph albums. I was holding on to them because I didn't want to throw them away, but they are not my direct family. Per chance, I happened to find Jim's website on genealogy.com. He had Walter Diehl listed. So I contacted Jim and it turns out that Walter was his grandfather. So I did federal express the 2 albums directly to him.
