Thought I'd add some to the discussion of using digital media for storage of records. I have many paper records stored but am in the process of converting them to image files and am storing my records in programs as well. As for the concern of many about the life of optical media such as CDs or DVDs. There is a good article based on 10 year old knowledge of CD formats here http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/bytopic/electronic-records/electronic-storage-media/critiss.html. In the article it expects 20-30 yr life from CDs at that time. There always have to be migration strategies for any data so it can be accessed by newer technologies down the road. As long as we are diligent in pursuing the conversion of data I would think we are going to be safe in digital storage. Another safeguard is to add redundant storage to your stategy for your records. I always store duplicate copies now as I have seen people loose their only copy of a picture at times. Redundant storage can also include magnetic media such as extra hard drives as well. I do intend to keep as many paper records as I can but am going to maintain a digital copy of any that I can as well. Charlie Brannen St Albans WV

Charlie, Do you just connect an audio cable to your computer to copy records and tapes to CD? Les Peine

Linda, If you have a PC that is running Windows XP you can use a very good program from Microsoft. It is Microsoft Plus Digital Media Edition. It has a very good analog recorder program in it that will convert analog music files to digital and will also then remove the pops and crackles and kisses from albums. I have used it to record on CD several of my old albums with great success. Also, I seen either your middle or maiden name listed as Tope. The Tope that was an undertaker in Gallipolis was the one who buried my G grandfather, William Henry Brannen in 1928. I got some info from Mary Lee at the Historical Society on him. If you had any pictures of him (Mr Tope), I would love to have one for my collection if you have one scanned that could be emailed. Charlie Brannen St Albans, WV

Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger February 17, 1876 GALLIA Wheat throughout this county is looking well. Seven in the jail of this county at the close of the week. The Gallipolis Journal says that there is more gambling now going on in that town than ever before. This county, not to be behind, reports a ghost as having been seen in "Oil Hollow," Morgan township. The prisoners confined in the jail of this county made an unsuccessful attempt to break out on Tuesday night of last week. Advices from Washington state that Secretary Bristow will give us a Board of local inspectors, with our city as headquarters, with district attached. --[Gallipolis Journal. A young colored man named Harvey Robinson, living in Springfield township, fell into the fire, recently, and was so severely burned that his life is despaired of. He was subject to fits.

Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger February 10, 1876 GALLIA The M. E. congregation, of Gallipolis. are building a 140 feet spire to their church. It is complimentary of the morals of Gallipolis that the city lock-up was last week without an occupant. Mr. S. R. Bush, of Ohio township, raised the past season an ear of corn, which contained by actual count, 1896 grains. A new M. E. Church was dedicated at Crown Point on last Sabbath. Rev. David H. Moore, of Cincinnati, officiating. The people of this county are experiencing the annual tribulation at this season of being wholly without McAdamized roads.

Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger January 6, 1876 GALLIA They are suffering from the affliction of almost impassable roads in this county, too. Fred, son of Postmaster Mullineux, of Gallipolis, accidentally shot off a portion of a finger on Christmas day. John Fulton Brown who was recently sent to the penitentiary for forgery, is the son of a Methodist minister. As the result of a personal difficulty recently between Mr. Lorenzo Clark, of Morgan township, and his son William, aged about twenty-one years, the former had his skull fatally fractured as is feared.

Nancy There are companies that specalize in transferring film to video, and that would probably be your best choice. There is equipment available for do it yourselfers, but the good stuff is pretty expensive. It involves running the film, with a mounted video pickup head instead of projecting to a screen. It does something to make the timing right , since a movie has a certain number of frames per second, and the standard video rate is different. Do an online search for film to video transfer.

I scanned and processed most of the photos in the new Lawrence Co History, Vol 2. I found that I got the best results by scanning everything as if it were color. The software is designed to do more with a color image than with black & white or Greyscale, so this gives you an extra layer of processing possibilities. After you have the best you can get treating it as a color photo, then convert to greyscale, and you have another chance to tweak it. I managed to get acceptable images from some really deplorable items. Don Clark

Larger towns and cities generally have firms that do this, but I've not been pleased with the rates. I'm also leery of the film breaking, or splices pulling apart, in which case you now pay the firm by the hour for repair. Oh, and there's the cleaning step, too, which is crucial. Once you get by all that, you hit a familiar devil: video formats, and video media. Your choices here are myriad, and if you are able to make a choice, you are likely stuck with it, and get to repeat the whole process in a few years at worst case. Google the topic and do some reading on the technical aspects, and check for local firms that advertise this service. You'll need to be somewhat savvy in the technology to even discuss the topic with them. Be wary of the tiny outfits with paper signs stuck up in the window with really low rates advertised. Do your homework, talk to a lot of vendors, talk to other people, and be careful. Or, keep your film in a cool dry place and hope for a better solution next year, or the next, or the next. -- Marty Cassidy Seattle, WA USA

Jean, I had thought that the name was Bostick but you never can be too sure. Thanks for the background. If Tricia is successful in getting the lot it will be nice .

Cheryl Tom Griesan <griesantomjean@msn.com> wrote: Hi! I thought that I'd take a quick peek on the census, to see if I could find the parentage of Julius Bosteck mentioned in the Ebay photos. With a very brief peek, I did find a Julius Bostick, born in February 1894 in Ohio. His father was Addison (I think that's the correct transcription) Bostick, and his mother was Christina Bostick. It appears that his parents married in about 1893. He had a younger brother, Fred A. Bostick, born in 1897. All were born in Ohio. They were living in Walnut Township in Gallia County in 1900. I found the family in Walnut Township, again in 1910. It states that the wife of Addison Bostick had three children, two still alive. Julius and Fred are still at home. Julius is 16 in 1910. It appears that Otto (?) Bostick is living with his brother, Addison. Otto Bostick is widowed. There is also Marguerite (?) Bostick living with the family, and she is the niece of Addison Bostick. I note on this census that Addison and Otto Bostick's father was born in Ohio, but the mother was born in Germany. The family is still in Walnut Township, Gallia County in 1920, with their last name spelled as "Bostic." Julius and Fred are still at home. Addison's wife is listed as "Tena." Both of Tena's parents are from Germany. Addison is listed as a farmer. I hope that his helps to identify for someone whose family this is. I'm guessing that I've got the right Bostick family. I was unable to locate any Bosteck family. - Jean Griesan Sunny Colorado (today anyway) -----Original Message----- From: cheryl enyart [mailto:trayne1837inc@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:37 AM To: OHGALLIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHGALLIA-L] Pictures on Ebay NOW---JULIUS HENRY BOSTECK?

The list on the back of picture was probably written in pencil at one time, but one can barely make out the impressions. I scanned these into my computer (all as pictures) and using a photo editing program I adjust the contrast slightly and work with the clarify feature. I was amazed how easy to read the letters turned out and while I wasn't able to bring out every name on the back of the picture, I was able to make out half, but I am still working with that picture to get the other half.

Like you, we know they are family we just don't know who. I plan on scanning them in the computer and enlarging them to see if I can compare them to other pictures and get a clue. The first page in the book is an index and there is writing in pencil but it is so faded you can't read it at all you can just see that something is barely written. Does anyone know what year tintypes were in use? I also inherited family pictures (about 50) that range late 1800's to early 1910. My great-aunt had written on everyone one of them on the back who they were and their relation to her mother (which would be my Ggrandmother). So not only did we have names, but we had their relationship to the family also. Pulling this together is what got me started on digging further on the family's genealogy and I've been at it ever since. ==== OHGALLIA Mailing List ==== Please remember that your topic must relate to genealogical research in Gallia County, Ohio.
