Do you have a scanner or know someone with a scanner? Just scan them do a few test scans first at different resolutions, bearing in mind the DPI (dots per inch) you scan at the bigger the resultant file size will be, when you are happy with what you are getting just scan them all Preferably as a .jpg or a .png file.
After all that Robert is your mothers brother (or your fathers) either way bobs ya uncle.

Yup, that's another way
i use one of these
i find if you are going to visit family you can take it with you and scan photos to thumb drive
and you dont have to be a computer tech to use it just plug in and start scanning

thanks yes I do have a scanner I have just tried it, it seems to transfer them to my pictures but I cannot find them I think a easy scan may be the way to go
yes had a play and managed to get the photos into my pictures now I have 2 questions I would like them to go into a new folder with out having to drag and drop them :Y: and how can I copy them to come out at the correct size as you have probably gathered I am no computer geek regards john

John, when you scan them you can name each picture with your own cation and you can also decide what folder it goes to and you can even create a new folder with whatever name you want to give it. Don't be to hasty to just push buttons, slow down and read what the options are when you scan.
To create new folder go to file explorer (windows key, sometimes marked 'Start' + E), pick the drive you want create your new folder in and then anywhere in the big blank area right click your mouse, scroll down till 'New' and your first option is 'Folder' right click on that give whatever name you like eg.
