    1. [TriCounty] Tri-County Additions Friday 9:30 Am
    2. Hi All Friends and Guests of <A HREF=" http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/jmtindex.htm ">Tri-Counties Genealogy & History Sites of Joyce M. Tice</A> I have just added two pages to the 1900 Museum of the site. They are a 1903 Christmas and a Turn of the Century Parlor, both from the collection of the Inscho family. They are absolutely exquisite photos and you will enjoy them as much as I am. One of our guests is sending me daily doses of wonderful photos taken by Ernest Inscho. These are top quality turn of the century photos of Tioga and area and we are SO LUCKY to have access to them. You will be seeing more of them in various sections of the site as time goes on. They are a window to the past and they take my breath away with their clarity and composition. This is the first addition to the 1900 museum since May. Submissions have fallen off for that section of the site although I know that the supply of material "out there" is abundant. Once again, the success of the site depends on YOU submitting your family memorabilia to the "common cause." Photos and letters and diaries that have laid in attics for years can now be out here for all of us to see and enjoy and learn from. Chip in !! Let your ancestors see some light. When I first started the 1900 page a year and a half ago or so, I had a particular plan in mind and I typified it in my own essay on who and where my ancestors were in 1900. Only two or three people did anything at all like the example I had in mind. Instead people sent in all manner of other things relating to that time. It turned into an Online Museum very different from what I had intended, but certainly far superior. It just shows what cooperative thinking and group effort can accomplish. I think we can all be very proud of our Online 1900 Museum. Joyce M. Tice <A HREF=" http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/jmtindex.htm ">Tri-Coun ties Genealogy & History Sites of Joyce M. Tice</A>
