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?

I have been searching, unsuccessfully, for the sibling of my gggrandfather (Simeon C. Stone). His brother was Amos R. Stone and was born in 1881 to Kinsey & Eunice Swick Stone. The last time I have seen mention of him was the 1900 Census, living with Eunice and her 2nd husband, Wilson A. Harding in Gallia County, OH. He was not mentioned at all in his mother's obituary in 1933. Does anyone show him in any of their Cemetery books, Military records or anything? I would love to find where he went to, or if he married, etc... Thank you, Marylou Hill

Hi Ginny, We've corresponded before. It has been some time since we last "spoke". You were very helpful to me when I was just getting started on the Fultons. We connect through James Fulton and Jane Matthews. My ancestor is their son William Fulton, your Mary Ann's brother. I descend through Williams' son Samuel. I'm the one that showed that Samuel Fulton's wife, Nancy Malaby, was the daughter of John Malaby and Mary Shaver using the Chancery Records and the will of John Malaby. Other Malaby researchers had only shown Eleanor, William, Catherine, and John to that point.

Don't get rid of the photos. Put them in a safe place and perhaps you may find someone down the road the knows who they are? How you say. Well, I contacted a 3C1R last year and he told me they had thrown out all the photos they couldn't identify after his older brother died (12 years older). When he told me that, I could only imagine that some of those people were my relatives and perhaps some of those images were not in my collection. I sent him images of his G grandparents that he had never seen before.

You can find out more by typing in Tintypes to Google and they will have lots of information about early photographic processes. Tom Powell

Does anyone know what year tintypes were in use? Tintypes first became available in 1853. Neil E.

My husband's mother's family (Holcomb-Bell-Day) were from Gallipolis and upon her death he received most of the family pictures. Unfortunately the older ones did not have names either. I have them scanned into my computer but so far I've not heard from anyone who is connected to any of her family who might be able to identify any of the photos. Donna Dotts

Sharon, On your index, I would scan that into your computer. I have several letters from my Great Grandmother written to her Mother. These letters were written in pencil and very difficult to read. I also have a picture of my Grandpa Coleman on a survey crew. 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. So you might want to try that with your index. Enjoy!

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.

Sharon I had 2 tintypes. Both nearly black. I took one to the scanner at Walmart. The picture did come out but not really light. I brought it home scanned the picture and was able to lighten it with a program I have. I was also able to take the crack out of my greatgrandmother's face. My brother took the picture that I had finished and used his program to clean it up even more. I am very glad I tired to save it. Now I have her as she was when grandpa was little. The second one I did on the scanner at home. My scanner has a high dpi, it came out beautifully. You can try it with the digital and see what you get. I would also try it with a good scanner. My thought is that you willl never know unless you try -- go for it. Something may come out that you least expect.

Tom, Thanks, I think that is what I am going to do. I have my wedding on VHS and it would be tremendous to have it on DVD. I guess I will look in to that software. Thanks again for your help Cheryl NHBigRed@aol.com wrote:Hi Cheryl and Linda, Yes, it can be done same as recording records to the computer. Roxio makes software that you can use to do this. Simply get a tape player and feed the line output to the input on the back of the computer that is the audio input. Use the software to do the recording with. It will record onto the hard drive and you can save it then to record to the CDs. I used Roxio's Easy CD 6 record software and then used the Audio Central part of the software to do the recording. It has a waveform that you can use to determine how loud to set the cassette player while recording to the hard drive. If you want to do this the easy way get an Allwrite DV recorder and it will make it possible to just hook up your cassette to the DV recorder and record right onto the CDs. You can also copy your old VHS tapes to DVDs this way. I'm in the process of doing this now for my VHS tape collection.

Would someone please check this to see if it is my great-great grandfather's marriage? My great-great grandmother is Virginia Rand that he married in Charleston during the Civil War, so if his Wigner or maybe it ought to be Wagner, may have been a first wife I have never heard of.
