Hi, It's nice to hear that family research has some happy outcomes. My late father knew nothing of his family background, except that he had been left in an orphanage with his two brothers. His father had died and his mother had married another man, who didn;t want the boys. All of his life my father tried to trace his brothers. He saw the youngest one only once when they were in the army (different regiments) and after Frank's demob, even the army couldn't help Dad find him again. Dad never found Harry. I got the bit between my teeth just over a year ago and tracked down Harry's widow. Harry and Dad had died withing days of each other. Margaret and I now correspond as regularly as we can. I have gained an Aunt, 6 cousins and 13 second cousins. Plan to go and meet them all this summer.

How did they go about getting information on things to paint in photos like jewelry? Did they ask the customer to bring in a photo of someone wearing jewelry already, that they could then copy to the new photo? or did they ask the customer to actually bring IN some jewelry to be copied to the photo? Was just curious. In this photo: http://www.fireline.org/kb4mhh/genealog/photos/sterner/people/ritter_ce.jpg ...the woman is wearing jewelry (painted in, of course) which actually belonged to an ancestor in another separate line. Now for the funny part, unrelated to the subject, but good for grins, anyway... Take your hands and cover all extraneous stuff except the face. This includes covering the hairline. ...SCARED? ...*I* sure as heck am! 8^) Makes me wonder if I really WANT to be doing this family research. I may NOT want to know... 8^) Okay, now back to your normal, everyday genealogcial researching routine.... Todd -------------------------------------------------------------- Todd L.

I am looking for Jeanne M. Courade. The Jean M. Courrade sounds like it could be her just misspelled. She came to US from France in 1909. On the ships manifest it said that she was going to reside with her brothers Louis and Fabien Courade who lived at 29 Auborn Ave. San Fran., Ca. I know that by 1916 she was married to Frederick Louis Larsen and they had a boy Thomas Frederick Larsen. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks so much. no junk

Any help would be appreciated. > no junk I don't have the census index handy, I could visit my local genealogy library which does have it, in a few weeks. I do have a collection of San Francisco city directories and I checked the directories for both 1909 and 1910 and did not find any listing of the surname Courade. In the 1912 city directory I did find a Jean M. Courrade, laundry worker, residing at 1861 Union Street, and a Henri Courtade, laundry worker, residing at 2131 Fillmore Street. [Both address are about a half dozen blocks from my house] If you have additional information such as first names, ages, birthplaces, children's names, and any other additional information it will make it easier to identify your family. I will be visiting the library that has the census index in a few and I could look them up, if you wish. Gerry Wright San Francisco

Things that tie the daughter to the father, I tend to file in her father's family stuff... stuff that ties to her adult life, husband, and kids, I'll place in her own family's stuff.

These birds have been spamming ads for their junk for at least 5 years and I don't expect that your complaint will have any effect. Let the buyer beware.

Lots of good free information out there, and this isn't it.

Do you mean the closest library that has Harper's Weekly is 200 miles away or are you so isolated that the closest library is that far away. If you do have a local libray you can request either a photocopy of the illustration or the microfilm of Harpers can be sent to your local library through inter-library loan. > I am looking for one page of illustrations in the > July 17, 1880 issue.

Anyone have access to Harper's Weekly (on-line)? The closet library to me is over 200 miles away. I am looking for one page of illustrations in the July 17, 1880 issue. There are 5 illustrations of the "Burning of the Seawanhaka". The paddlewheel steamer burned on the East River, NYC on June 28, 1880. Forty lives were lost including my gg grandfather Thomas Flanagan. Rob
