A eldest son stated his birthplace was Baltimore, MD ca 1842. Henry, wife Margaret and family spent most of their life in Venango Co., PA. Henry and his wife were from Hesse-Kassel, Germany. One census said they were born about 1816 and 1819 and another said ca 1825. A death certificate for one of their sons (George Crodle) indicated his mother's name was HOMER ( at least that is what it looks like). One daughter married a JOY and one a BOYD.

She was born in Hesse-Kassel, Germany ca 1816-1826. She had a child who on one census is listed as George NINER and on one census as George Crothel NINER and on his death certificate as George N. CRODLE. All indicate he was born in Baltimore, MD. Margaret md a Henry NINER or NEINER (or other variation) also from Hesse-Kassel, Germany and moved to Cooperstown, PA about 1845. So: Anyone have a NINER in Maryland in that time period since I have no parents for him? Anyone have a HOMER in Maryland area who might be the parent of Margarite (Margaret)? Anyone have a clue about the CROTHEL or CRODLE name? Was Margaret married before NINER? The 1850 census has two sons named George and that might be an explanation (one later went by Frederick and one by George).

You haven't indicated where you have looked for her or her age, which would help. There is an Emma Morelock, born about 1864, living in Westminster in the 1880 Census. She is living in the home of Thomas Harmon, but unrelated to him. If you think that is her, she can probably be found with her parents in the 1870 census. The 1880 Census lists 43 Morelocks in Maryland and 41 of them were in Carroll County, so that is where you should be looking. John

Why didn't I think of that ?? Always use a non-damaging approach first and only use the other approaches if you MUST see the back of the photo. If you don't have a scanner, use a digital camera to copy the individual photos. In this case, you might BORROW a camera to do the job. The price certainly would be right.

My understanding is that Sarah Elizabeth was his younger sister. A significant portion of the family moved to what was then Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, in the early 1840s. The area is now part of Webster Parish, whose immediate neighbor to the west is Bossier Parish. What I have is sketchy. James Doyle relocates from Maryland, possibly Hagerstown,and had numerous offspring: James (married Sarah), Alexander, Leah, RHODU(A)M (born 1789?), Sally, John, William, Mariah, Mary, Simon, Eli Reese, and Oliver Miller, who moved with their parents to Pendleton District, now Anderson County, SC -entire comunity was apparently Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. James purchased property there in 1806. RHODUM married Jane Sarah Brewster about 1807 in Anderson County, SC. In 1860 Arkansas census shows him as 71, with Jane his wife, living with his daughter, Priscilla and her husband Burnett Denny in Madison County, and listed as blind. Jane was the daughter of James Brewster and Mildred Downs, both of North Carolina. Mildred’s father was Henry Downs, Jr., who was born in Pennsylvania in 1728, married Frances Chew in Orange County, VA, in 1750, and died in Providence, NC, on 10/08/1798. His father, Henry Downs, Senior, was born between 1698 and 1710 and immigrated to Philadelphia with is newlywed wife, Lady Douglass, in the first quarter of the 18th century. The children of Rhodum and Jane included Rhodum Doyle, born in 1814 in South Carolina. The 1880 Census lists him as a farmer in Seneca, Oconee County, South Carolina. Another son was DOWNS BREWSTER, born in 1818 in White County, Tennessee, taking his names from his maternal grandparents. After acquiring property in what is now Webster Parish, LA, he returned to Tennessee to marry his sweetheart, Emeline Austin, and they returned to Louisiana. Any details you can fill in would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody has mentioned it, but before you possibly ruin the pictures trying to remove them, you should scan them. With an inexpensive scanner, doing a little reading about what resolution and settings to use to make good prints, and some practice, you can probably copy the pictures right from the album. They won't have the sentimental value of the original, but you'll still have the images. I've borrowed several relatives' old albums and scanned all of the decent pictures in them, many of which could not be removed. I put them on CD's and make copies for all of my cousins.

With all respect, I don't think I would use Undo on photographs for fear it would take the emulsion right off the paper backing. I have used Undo to take labels off bottles and it requires a fair amount of scraping and rubbing to get all the gunk off. First, I suggest visiting a 'real' camera store to see if anyone there has any suggestions ... or check the yellow pages for someone who does photo restoration. Or try your local library to see if they know someone who might be able to help. Or go online to the Popular Photography website and see if they have a usergroup that might be able to answer your question. Failing all that ... and as a last resort ... I would choose one sheet as a test case and soak it in room temperature water to see if the backing would separate from the photo without too much difficulty. Do NOT use hot water. Remember; the photo was developed and fixed in a liquid bath, and then washed in water to remove the chemicals, so the water alone should not damage the photo. But hopefully it WOULD cause the backing to soak off. If this works, then place the pictures between sheets of paper towels ... with a weight to keep 'em from curling while they dry. Keep replacing the wet towels with dry ones ( let the wet towels dry out and reuse them later ). This is, of course, a last resort. But this is what I would try if faced with your problem. Then in the future, use archival plastic sheets for photo storage. You can get them at that 'real' camera store or you can find them online. Print File is one brand that I use and Clear File is another. They are 8.5x11 and have pockets to hold photos ( or negatives ) of various sizes. These are 3-hole punched, so you can put 'em in special photo albums ... or in regular notebooks. I store mine on the shelf with the rings at the top so the pictures & negatives can hang freely and are not scratched by being stacked one on top of another. Be sure they are 'archival'. And never use those 'magnetic' album pages. My wife inadvertantly bought such an album a few years ago, but I was able to get her to throw it away rather than put any of our valuable pictures in the thing. It looks like such a good idea, but it can be harmful to the pictures. Good luck!!

Greetings All I am having trouble finding information for my Great Grand Parents "Phillip and Julia Hummel". I found both of them and their children in the 1870 census and Julia and her children in the 1880 census. Phillip I guess died before 1880. The census was taken in the 12th District of Baltimore County - Post Office Little Gunpowder for 1870 census. The 1880 census was 12th District of Baltimore County - 253 enumeration district. I am trying to find where they would have lived. I am trying to find where they would have been buried and maybe a church with some records for births and marriages. Any help would be appreciated.
