The scrapbook creator didn't have any children of her own, but she had put in loads of photos of aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I was able to find a cousin on Ancestry who was ecstatic to learn of it and paid for me to ship it to him.

I like the idea of starting a family page on Ancestry and uploading photos. That way, anyone related could find them online. I hope someone has reached out to you with interest in being a caretaker for the album since your first post.
