I've "rescued" a group of BIGELOW Family photographs from Iowa. The first is one of Llewellyn C. BIGELOW which was taken at the J. M. Stonestreet Studio in Malcom, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Llewellyn likely in his 30's or 40's at the time. The second photograph is one of Alonzo J. BIGELOW which was taken at a studio in Grinnell, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Alonzo likely in his 60's or 70's at the time. The third photograph is one of Mabel BIGELOW STONESTREET, taken at the J. M. Stonestreet Studio in Malcom, IA. This one was probably taken in the 1880's with Mable likely in her 30's at the time.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Emma Vera BOYD which was taken at the Holmes Bros. Studio in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The photograph is dated 1886 and notes that Emma is 2 years and 9 months old at the time. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a BOYD Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding Emma and her family: Emma married Ira Lesgar NEILL about 1905 and together they had two children, Vera Aileen (died in her teens) and Lesgar LeRoy NEILL who died in Santa Rosa, CA in 1995. Census records provide the following: 1900 census of Boston, MA: Eliza J.

BOYD, dau, age 17, born Sept 1883, born MA, parents born Canada/Scotland, at School + 8 Boarders I am hoping to locate someone from this BOYD Family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

So far, 'metaphor', 'william' and I have researched for you. However all of this information, except the 1940 census I provided, was already found for you earlier on this board. As far as your first post on this thread, the info you list is incomplete as you stated that you have a lot of information regarding Bernard in another post. As I mentioned when I provided the 1940 census earlier, Myrtle and Bernard are NOT in Sonoma County. They are living 461 Wallace, Vallejo, Solano County, CA. I felt I should clarify this before other volunteers spend time researching with incorrect information. Myrtle M Bramhall is listed as 56 years old. She states that she was born in Missouri, and living in Fresno (town) in 1935. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Gee, it would have been so nice to have all of these names (your Aunt and sons names) you have just mentioned, in prior messages. That would have been helpful. William and I searched and provided you with information which it turned out that you already had. Next time, it would be nice of you to mention that you already have all of this data AND share the results so that we have more info to go from, and also do not spend time re-searching what you already know. Have YOU found the Bramhalls in the early census records, after he immigrated? It is odd that they would be missing in so many. Do YOU have a copy of the marriage license for Bernard and Flora from OR? I also searched those records and didn't find the marriage ... though I didn't have your Aunt's name at that time as you didn't provide it. If you "have tons of info", it is always helpful to provide the sources. As I stated originally, we often have to work backward to find more current information. If I could find more data on Bernard, then finding data on Candace would be easier. I'm sure you understand this.
