Go to Cindy's list & read the information on preservation--some where I saw a website that had suggestions for this problem. I wouldn't put them under running a water until I confirmed that info--I'd be afraid that they would completely disintegrate.

Dear Anna, I read your reply about trying to get creases and folds out of old newspapers with great interest. You seem so knowledgeable about that topic, I wonder if you might have some other ideas about preservation. I have a very old autograph book with the handwriting of several of my ancestors in them, but the old ink is fading so that some of the signatures are almost illegible. Do you or does anyone know of any way to preserve this old ink script? The book is not in bad shape, but the ink is what is disappearing. I keep the book out of the light, but that does not seem to make any difference. The gook is over 100 years old.

Greetings John, I was thinking after I posted; if the newspapers are folded up, you may want to put them in a trash bag with a mildly damp sponge for a day before starting the full flattening process. This will soften the folds and lessen the chance of cracking. Make sure the sponge does not come in contact with the paper -- I put mine in a tupperware storage container with lots of slips cut in the lid. If you don't have a sponge, use several dozen lightly moistened paper towels (careful, they hold a lot of water). The trick is not to rush - it's all about achieving stability. Let me know how it works out. Wm Voss ----------------------------------------------

John, There are agencies who specialize in document "reclamation". I suspect they are fairly expensive. A less expensive may be to use a hand held scanner, allowing you to scan the creased places with minimal unfolding. I saw your post on another list and one of the responses was to add humidity to the equation. Your situation, as I recall, was that you live near the western desert and probably cannot create the humidity needed. If you can find a way to do it, that is the best advice. I have recovered several old books by putting them in a refrigerator for a couple of days.

>From another list, I received the following advice from Wm Voss: I am (in another life, separate from genealogy) a letterpress printer. We often print on dampened paper when using our old iron handpress for wood engravings. I make a sandwich of dampened blotter paper/sheet of rag waste paper/sheets (number depends of weight and how damp I want them - experiment)/ waste/damp/waste/sheets/etc. I stack them all up neatly, and put them in a doubled plastic trash bag - the big 35 gallon ones -- close it tightly with some old fashioned paper clips. I put a sheet of 1" ply below and on top and add a couple of bricks. If the sheets are quite brittle, start them with no weight for the first few hours; then add the top ply; then the bricks after several more. Leave over night or more. The moisture equalizes throughout and everything stays nice and flat. Use a few waste sheets first and try different size piles. When the sheets have dampened, handle them with great care -- they will tear easily. Carefully slide the stack onto a sheet of ply. Slide a sheet of thin masonite between the waste sheets (carefully -- several extra hands help!) and then holding the new sandwich firmly, turn it off and set aside. Do the same with each stack. Leave the masonite on top and leave a day or so to allow them to dry. If you notice any warping up, add some weights. The sheets should be nicely flattened. You can add a few teaspoons of Listerine to the water -- helps kill bacteria -- and some baking soda to offset the acid in the paper. PLEASE test a few sheets first!! Give yourself plenty of room and don't rush.

Sorry, Ol' Man... gotta get the humidity up one way or another. Kristian's suggestion of cut potato is what I was getting at talking about salvaging the old pipe tobacco. :) I know how it is... it's about 13% here today and that's with clouds! I don't know how much material you are talking about but perhaps a plastic box ... like a sweater or blanket storage box ... could serve as a 'vault?' In that case, a sponge in a tray or wet towel could increase things for you dramatically. Just check it frequently and, of course, if mold starts to show you'll have to think of something else. Are there any large libraries or university facilities nearby? Perchance a phone call looking for their recommendations for archival storage? Sorry I can't be more help... but the end goal is to get the papers "unbrittle" ... that means increasing humidity one way or another. A vaporizer makes a good source of moisture if you have a contained-enough place to use it... small closet, etc. Just go slowly. Good luck...

You might try building a frame of small strips of wood and stretch some fabric netting or vinyl screening over the frame you build and tack it. You can put some legs on the frame or just put something in the water for the frame to rest on. Place this frame over water that is in the bottom of a container that has a tight fitting lid (such as a covered garbage can with locking lid or a large square Tupperware type container). Place the newspaper on the screen/netting and tightly cover this for several days to get moisture back into the paper. Keep in a cool place such as in your living area. The paper should relax so that you can unfold it. If this does not work, you might want to submerge your newspaper clipping into water but only with them lying on the screen/netting for support. Don't try to wet the paper and handle it with your hands it will fall apart. It might fall apart anyway even by using the screen/netting so if you have the names of the newspapers written on the clippings and the dates, record this before doing anything, so that you could reproduce the articles from newspaper microfilm. Once the paper is hydrated enough that you can unfold it, place it between some waxed paper and place heavy books on top of them to flatten the moisten paper. I hope this helps. This procedure can be used to relax rolled photos as well. Anna

I've been digging in some old family items -- many have not been disturbed form 50 years. There are many old newspapers with family items, but they have been creased or folded and I'm afraid to try to straighten them out. I would like to copy and scan these originals, to share with others on the net and put copies in a notebook to share with my family. But first they have to be fairly straight. If I put them under the lid of a copier/scanner as dry as they are--they would crack, crumble and fall apart. Any iteas on how to straighten old newspapers and other items? I heard once that old newspapers could be rinsed with clean running water and then left to dry. H E L P! --John ------------------------------------------------------------------ John D.

HI, again, I have found an Anna Gardner for you, but I am afraid she is too old to be the one you are looking for. However, it does show that the name "Anna" appeared in the family earlier, so perhaps we are not too far off looking for her in Vassalboro. Anna Gardner was b. 1778 in Nantucket, dau. of Christopher Gardenr and his wife Anna Barnard Bunker. They moved to Vassalboro circa 1799. My info says that older Anna m. Nymphas Tobey. They lived at Cross Hill in Vassalboro. Christopher was the brother of my ancestor, Jethro Gardner. Maybe we are getting warmer.

looking for info on the family of John Wesley Gardner married Frances Ann Smith- their daughter Addy was born 1872- married Bardin Finley King in Corsciana,Texas in 1887. Ann

Dear Beth, I will be interested to know if you find any info in Quaker records. It would seem very likely that your Gardner and mine are connected in some way... I have been able to get some information about my "girls" from the Vassalboro Monthly Meeting, Minutes of Women Friends. Microfilm and the Original manuscripts of the meetings are available at the Maine Historical Society, 485 Congress St., Portland, Maine 04111 Vassalboro was originally part of Sidney. You might also try the Vassalboro Historical Society...I understand they have some original materials such as family Bibles, etc. Regards, Marilyn in NH On Mon, 28 May 2001 11:26:45 EDT [email protected] writes: > Hi Marilyn, thank you for your information.

looking for info on Paul A. Gardner and his wife Mary H. Herring. they may be from Missouri -i only have a note from my cousin- 1911- don't know if it's a marriage date or a born date for Mary Herring Ann

Hi Marilyn, thank you for your information. My records show that Anna GARDNER DUTTON's 10 children were born in Vassalboro, ME; however, when I sent for the birth record for her son, Charles Austin DUTTON, Vassalboro does not show his birth. After reading your message and reading elsewhere that many early Maine towns did not keep birth records, it look like the next place to research is Quaker meeting records. Cousin Beth

HI, I am descended from Jethro and Love Gardner who migrated from Nantucket to eventually reside in Vassalboro, ME (just acorss the river from Sidney, ME....they first had a house on that side of the river.) It is possible that your Anna and Samuel are related in some way to the same family as Jethro and Love, but I have no proof. Jethro and Love had several children. Two of the girls had children out of wedlock, and the children had the surname Gardner. I am descended from one of the girls, Christina Gardner. Her sister, Eunice, also had some children about the right time frame for your Anna. I know the names of Christina's children, but don't know Eunice's children's names. Both Eunice and Christina were drummed out of the local Quaker meeting for not revealing the names of their children's fathers. I have no idea is the fathers were family members, visiting sea captains, or local swains. Jethro and Love were Quakers and you might get some information on your ancestors from the records of the Quaker meeting at China, Maine. I believe they have some good records and you might find your Anna there. Good luck....

Hi: Sorry, all of my side went south not north. Ralph

Hi Ralph In all of your researching have you ever found information on a Adam Gardiner? He sailed from Greenock Scotland, December in 1774 and arrived in Feb. 1775. He was in the NY Census in 1790, in PA or OH in 1800. Family history says he was killed by Indians while closing his business in PA. I'll check out your FTM site, I hope I have that disc.
