Thanks Larry! Thats one of my long lost cousins. He sent me lots of info on my Ojibwa Grandmother...then later said he wasn't sure about it. Seems some family members of his just do not want the truth out! They are ashamed. I am ashamed of them! Spiritdove ~v~ on 12/21/04 8:13 AM, Larry F.

I will be out of the office until January 3, 2005. I will respond when I return. Have a safe Holiday Season.
You can get online with Social Security Administration & look thru the prompts they have. They format has changed abit since I was last on it. But they offer several user friendly sites. There are also sites on genealogy.com, rootsweb & I think familytree still has one. You'll need basic info for them. The site I used a few years ago listed all the names of deceased with birthdates & last known residence. So from there you narrowed it down to who your relative may have been. I'd go with that & got lucky each time. The system allows you to print out a form with they name you've chosen already on it & you fill it out & mail it in with your check. Like I said I haven't done it in about 2 years. But got quite a few copies of the originals filled out by my family members. Hope this helps, remember you need some basic info to do your search...teri b ----- Original Message ----- .

Hi All I am looking for a William Morriseau who married Isabelle Jourdain. They were from the Rainy Lake area of Ontario belonging to Couchiching Indian Band. I have no dates but working back from their granddaughter Lillian Veran b. 1900-1910, their daughter Marie Morriseau, probably born c1870-1890, would put William and Isabelle b. 1840-1860 range. I have a couple of Isabelle Jourdain, one b.c 1852, daughter of Alexis Jourdain and Angélique Gourneau. The other born c 1849, daughter of Joseph Jourdain and Susanne. Those are the only two loose ones I have at the moment. Any help is appreciated. Merry Christmas Stan
Hi Peter, I have never seen a digitized copy of the SS application. Infact the first time I ordered the paper copy I had no idea what to expect. Once I locate the family member on the SS death index, I then print out the application for requesting the family members form. The freedom of information act allows us to obtain this info for a fee, but worth it. The form has the individuals name, current address date birth date & place of birth, parents names and current place of employment. Also their signature is required. There are a few boxes with questions regarding sex, race & if they've requested a SS # before. The SS number assigned to them is also on form. So it's pretty informative for those who have no info to go on for starters. Death Certs are the easiest to start with & the SS death index is also helpful. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks Bud Yes, that sounds exactly like my picture. I have found it interesting that it is still in such good shape but the tintypes are fading some. Thanks to everyone for your info.

Thanks Betty. So many good tips for all of us who have old photo's and would like to share them. Jan Hi Jan, You are so welcome. Thought you might be interested in another trick. I have used my digital camera to photograph pictures that could not be scanned with my printer as I do not have a flat-bed printer. Any photo, such as one on thick cardboard stock or even tin plate can be duplicated this way. You have to be very careful not to get the flash in the picture so better done in good lighting. I snapped many pictures from different angles and then would pick the best one. If you have touch-up editing on your software you can even improve the picture this way. Have done this with photos that had serious flaws or damage. Takes some patience but so worth the effort. Had a lot of practice as so many of my family photos were borrowed originals that I had to return. God Bless, Betty

I have ordered the paper copies of the SS info for my relatives. What I received was a copy of the original form filled out by the person. I found that better because I could see exactly what they wrote down and it has their signatures. For me personally, it was a closer link to seeing abit about the individual. I like seeing the handwriting of the person.
