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.

Herma, I'm thinking they could be in Hocking Co in 1870. They had a daughter Caroline, b: 1833 in Pa. That would put her at 47 yrs old in 1880 not 33. But they also had a daughter Lydia that married Ephraim Russell in 1860 in Gallia Co. It could take me some time to work this out but at least you have given me a starting point.

Hi Debi and list, Which of the Fultons do you descend from? My third great grandmother was Mary Ann (Fulton) Bing w/o Samuel C. Bing. They were married in Augusta Co. VA and came to Gallia 1803-4. I have proven them both for First Families. Just interested in your connection. Ginny

Thanks Cheryl. In the 1850 census Robert's last name was spelled Rey and in the 1860 it was spelled Wray. But after 1860 most of their children spelled it Ray. Robert owned land in 1860 and was a farmer in Addison Twp at age 70 but can't find Robert or his wife Sarah after that.

I couldn't agree more. When my dad passed away several years ago he left at least 300 photographs, some appearing to be from the 1920s or earlier. Included in the photographs was a picture of a two-shelf metal bookcase and a set of books. On the back was written "Bookcase and books". That was the only picture from the whole lot that had any information on the back, as if we wouldn't have known the picture was of a bookcase and books. I have no idea who many of the people in the other photos are, though it is likely many are from Gallia and Meigs counties in Ohio and Jackson County, WV. All the family is gone, so there is no one to ask.

I think if you knew the facts and took your role seriously in the preservation of these records, you would have a different approach. CD as physical medium to store data seems to have a fairly long life, though we don't know how long yet. DVD now is now pretty much the standard, and there is a new format coming out Real Soon Now. If history talks, the new formats will replace the old and we won't be able to read the old. Does eight-track tape bring back any memories? How about wire recorders? Edison cylinders? Piano rolls? Each of those technologies was invented and died completely within about 2 generations or so. Genealogy data that is readable for only two generations is pretty useless. Then there is the format of the data itself. It's great you've got a backup copy of a genealogy database done in FTM Version 8 or whatever. But I use Legacy Version 5, and the next researcher might use Reunion Version 3 or whatever. So we can't use that data. And in one hundred years FTM Version 113.5 might not be able to read that data either. Genealogy data in any proprietary format is useless other than as a backup. OK, so it should be in a non-propietary format, like GEDCOM. Gedcom isn't bad, but it's very limited. And, quite flawed. It does have the advantage of being "open" and well documented so it will probably [does an honest historical society rely on "probably"?] be readable for a few years. GEDCOM is not the answer, though I admit LDS has been scraping by for a long time on it. But I doubt they'll be able to go another generation. The answer? Print everything you get, and put it in file cabinets. Use archival-quality paper, and archival-quality ink or toner. But you already know that. Just my thoughts. -- Marty Cassidy Seattle, WA USA ==== OHGALLIA Mailing List ==== Check the address you are replying to before sending your message. Another way to store the family history files is to put them online. Sites such as Rootsweb will host them, but if one is uncomfortable with that, you can put them on your own site. If you don't mind hosting an advertising banner, there are many sites that will do this for free. There are programs (such as Gedpage) that will convert gedcom files to html. This is what I have done (_http://www.angelfire.com/fang/snaggle/gedcom/index.html_ (http://www.angelfire.com/fang/snaggle/gedcom/index.html) ) It also makes for easy sharing.

Her name was Vausie Northup born Feb. 17, 1875 in Gallia County to Ansel Northup and Lavina McCall, their youngest child. Always strong willed and determined, she was not about to spend her days on a farm getting up at the crack of dawn to care for a family. She wanted adventure and a very different life. At a young age, probably after completing school, she left Ohio for Los Angeles where she worked as a secretary. She married Frank Smith who was involved somehow in the movie industry. They lived rather well in a large home in L.A.. He died sometime in the 1950's and she died in Jan. 1971 at the age of 95. She still lived a luxurious life and was sharp mentally until the end. She and my mother, her grand neice, corresponded until her death. I gather that Vausie was known as the black sheep of the family as Los Angeles was not a place for a young girl from rural Ohio. My mother (still alive) adored her and her strongmindedness and often told stories of "Aunt Vausie".

I still have 8" floppy disks, 5 1/4 disks with no drives to read them on. Now, my latest computer, a Gateway, has no floppy disk drive at all. I think Linda is right when she says she is not intending for her disks to be long lasting. They won't be!! Cheryl says she is going to use jump drives and maybe they will be OK but again no one has tested them for longevity. Then you have the problem that they plug into USB ports. How long will it be before they move to a different port and USB will no longer be available? My first computer was a Commodore 64 and of course it is no longer available so if I had not transferred my information on the Commodore disks to IBM disks, I would have lost it. So, Marty is right that we need to also print our records out on archival paper and ink and then store them in a safe place. We can also make numerous copies now that digital copying makes a copy identical to the original. (copy machines are analog not digital) Give copies to all your relatives and maybe some will survive. In the meantime make good disk copies but rerecord them in 5 years to be sure there is a machine still able to read them. Also if they are made on high quality disks and kept safely they should be good for the 5 years. Tom Powell

If I'm not mistaken I'm the Fulton descendant that Cheryl is referring to who was able to purchase the Fulton family photo's off of ebay. I will be FOREVER grateful to Cheryl for taking the time to mention on this list that a photo collection was up for auction. The auction description included a few surnames. I knew when reading them they were "mine". After checking the site and recognizing some photos already in my posssession I knew I had to have the lot. I didn't fool with the auction but immediately did the "buy it now" price. It cost me nearly $100. but it was worth every penny to me. Sadly, the majority of photogrpahs (40+) were not marked and unrecognizable to me. If Cheryl had not taken the time to review ebay and post the information I would never have known this photo collection existed. The source for the photos seemed to have purchased them at an estate sale. The original album belonged to Ella Mink Hoffman, sister of my great-great grandmother Serepta Mink Fulton. Photos in my collection include: Lyvonia Clark Bunce, Jacob Tipton, Harrison Mink, Sarah Jane Tipton Mink, Missinda Mink Fulton, possible John Mink, Edna Fulton Thaxton, Harlan Fulton, John Fulton, Serepta Mink Fulton, Nancy Malaby Fulton and her children Royal, Mary, John, Samuel, and William., various VanSandt's who moved to Harrisonville, Missouri. I would guess that since the original owner was Ella Mink Hoffman there could be Hoffman photos in the collection as well. I also have assorted Thaxton family photographs. If anyone connects to these families and is interested in copies email me privately and I'll send a scan. Thanks again to Cheryl for understanding that someone out there would be thrilled to locate precious family mementos!

I think all of us have had similar experiences with mystery photographs. I "inherited" an old ablum of picturs which had belonged to my grandmother's unmarried sister. Not a single picutre had a name. About half of them were from Sweden! In the last few years I have searched for all cousins, neighbors, churches...anything and anyone who had any possible contact with this family who lived in Akron, Ohio....although there were photos from other states as well as a few locations in Sweden. I have researched the photographers. As a result, about 25% of the pictures have been identified. I have scanned, mailed, phoned, and emailed many people...and some of them were responsive and interested in receiving copies of some of the pictures. It has been a fascinating search and discovery. I don't think I will ever have names and places for all the pictures, but the fact that some of them are identified is very rewarding. Karen Ft.

You are so very Welcome. I have thought about that so many times... I guess, it was providence. There is a set on ebay now. I was getting ready to post those. I will have to get the correct information though.:} Cheryl Debi Grubb <DGRUBB2@columbus.rr.com> wrote:If I'm not mistaken I'm the Fulton descendant that Cheryl is referring to who was able to purchase the Fulton family photo's off of ebay. I will be FOREVER grateful to Cheryl for taking the time to mention on this list that a photo collection was up for auction. The auction description included a few surnames. I knew when reading them they were "mine". After checking the site and recognizing some photos already in my posssession I knew I had to have the lot. I didn't fool with the auction but immediately did the "buy it now" price. It cost me nearly $100. but it was worth every penny to me. Sadly, the majority of photogrpahs (40+) were not marked and unrecognizable to me. If Cheryl had not taken the time to review ebay and post the information I would never have known this photo collection existed. The source for the photos seemed to have purchased them at an estate sale. The original album belonged to Ella Mink Hoffman, sister of my great-great grandmother Serepta Mink Fulton. Photos in my collection include: Lyvonia Clark Bunce, Jacob Tipton, Harrison Mink, Sarah Jane Tipton Mink, Missinda Mink Fulton, possible John Mink, Edna Fulton Thaxton, Harlan Fulton, John Fulton, Serepta Mink Fulton, Nancy Malaby Fulton and her children Royal, Mary, John, Samuel, and William., various VanSandt's who moved to Harrisonville, Missouri. I would guess that since the original owner was Ella Mink Hoffman there could be Hoffman photos in the collection as well. I also have assorted Thaxton family photographs. If anyone connects to these families and is interested in copies email me privately and I'll send a scan. Thanks again to Cheryl for understanding that someone out there would be thrilled to locate precious family mementos!

Shelby, I went to Shirley Plantation last May when I went on vacation with a friend. I talked to the Carter family that lives and maintains the plantation.| The older Carter living their is 86 years old. I left my card and said if they found anything about our Gallia County John or the older man remembered to please drop me a line. They have no idea about any of their history. The tour guide probably knows more than them. I had a book about Carter's and I believe, just my opinion, that John/Mary Lehr Carter is the son of William Carter who squander the family fortune when he had a chance. This was brought out about him (William) in the Tour. This book said that William had 2 sons that were named in his mother's will. One of them was a John. I figure that John couldn't stand the reputation his father had given the name. John seemed to be an alright fellow, marrying Mary Lehr the way he did. But I just think that he came west to escape the bad name of his father.

Denise, I know what you're saying. This fall I went through my mother's photo albums. None of the photos from her father's side were marked with any names. He had several beautiful photo albums going back to the late 1800s, but with no names. How sad. We'll never have any idea who those people are.

I just spent the better part of four days going through photos from one set of Grandparents with my mother, father and sisters. I am the eldest and know most of the people, however, my grandmother was born in 1890 - had my mother at 43, only child, go figure. The point is, anyone we could ask if none of us knew, they're dead. Make sure to add your photos to the Will provision or give the person who would most appreciate the photos to them now. Do this as soon as you can while the oldest person in your family can still SEE.
