I'm beginning to wonder what connection this thread has to Quaker Roots. There are many sources of info on archival storage and preservation, which would be of interest to a wider audience, such as: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/VINTAGE-PHOTOS.html For what it's worth, I called my state Historical Society with questions about storing old photos. They were pleased to be asked, and were very helpful. Kraig __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com

As long as the binder is kept away from dampness the paper will not stick to the plastic. But may I suggest that you also do as I do with all info that I do not want to lose because of dampness or water damage...and that is to scan them into your computer and put them onto cd for safe keeping. At least that way if the originals do get wet or damaged, you will still have a copy. Hope this helps, Debbie
Hi Joyce Jacob Lamb's will was probated in November 1800 in Randolph Co., NC. He never lived in Indiana, but his daughter Catherine moved to Indiana with her husband Exum Elliott in 1807.

This comes from Fact, Fiction, Folklore, and Fakelore by James Bellarts Colonel Joshua Lamb, born Sept. 27, 1642, Roxbury, Suffolk Co., Mass., served as a Colonel in King Phillip's war; married (possibly second marriage) Mary Alcock, born August 15, 1652, Boston, Mass, died October 9, 1700, Roxbury, Suffolk Co., Mass, daughter of Dr. John and Sarah Palsgrave Alcock. He was granted "the whole island of Roanoke" by Sir William Berkeley April 17, 1676. In this grant he is referred to as "Marchant Joshua Lamb of Roxbury, County of Suffolk in New England". He died in Perquimans Co., NC, September 23, 1690. His widow Mary Lamb returned to Roxbury in 1690 where she signed some papers and called herself of said town. Since Joshua Lamb died intestate, the only records of his children are in Roxbury, Mass, Vital Records and Genealogical Disctionary of the First Settlers of New England, by James Savage. His children: Colonel Joshua Lamb, Jr. (below) Dorothy Lamb, baptized 04 mo-08-1679, m. Rev. Dudley Woolbridge George Lamb, baptized 01 mo-27-1681 John Lamb, b. april-22-1683; died shortly after birth Elizabeth Lamb, b. Mar-02-1682/3; d. Jun-09-1683 John Lamb, b. Feb.-03-1685; d.

It should be noted that "importation" does not necessarily mean from England. It could mean from another colony.

Hi! I am trying to trace my Quaker roots. I know that Ann Tuckniss married William Hopkins in 1795 but that they married out of unity. This was in the Philadelphia records. Did they go back to the Quakers or did they then go on to a church? Does anyone know anything about the Tuckniss family. These two had my g g grandpa, Robert Hopkins, born in Philadelphia in 1796. I am a novice at this!-- Erika

Hi This Lamb family was a Quaker family. It is highly doubtful that Jacob Lamb actively participated in the Revolutionary War. Though some Quakers were caught up in it by accident of it taking place on their property. Even his will contains Quaker dating practice. The last Quaker records I have of him are his marriage in 1764, but many records were lost after that. Hinshaw records several of the marriages of his children in his Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy Vol. 1 North Carolina. By the way, it has never been proven that Henley is the surname of his mother. All records refer to her as Elizabeth only. There was an Elizabeth Henley that traveled on the same ship from England as a Henry Lamb, but it is not know if that is our Henry Lamb or our Elizabeth. Henry Lamb's descendants claim Scottish Heritage, but that has not yet been proven by any church records. I have a great deal of information on the descendants of Henry Lamb (about 1697-1791) and they are posted on ancestry.com. If I can be of any help I will gladly share whatever I have.

Hello All, I have received an overwhelming response to my plea for information about storing old photos. It will take me time to go through all of the responses and rather than try to reply to each and every one I want to just give a public thanks for all the great help! I have received some great information. Again, THANK YOU everyone! Alan Buckingham
It's not much, but I have an Abner Lamb who married Abigail Trogdon (1793-1881), sister of my ancestor, Catherine Trogdon (1771-1866). Catherine married Abraham Hammer (1771-1850) and their son, Abijah Hammer (1798-1860) migrated from Randolph County, N.C., to Henry County, Ind. -- which, of course, is the next county west from Wayne County/Richmond.

Hi Alan I'll add my 2 cents into this. I have over 35 notebooks, all with pocket protectors, all acid free. I bought them at an office supply story. It is much cheaper. I do keep the original newspapers, but I photo copy them too. One day, maybe not in my life time, but someday, they will dry out. So I copy them to make sure I have a copy. Everything goes into the pocket protectors. This system has worked well for me for over 20 years. But check out the office supplies stores for the best prices. One word about finger prints. I had a photo of my ggrandmother, in the corner was a finger print. It was the finger print of my grandmother. It took a while for her to admit it, but her hand was wet at the time and it left her mark. What a great prize I have. Your cuz in time, Glee
Alot of acid free materials can be found in craft stores in the scrapbooking areas. Mary
If you are trying to remove photos from the old magnetic albums I would try heating the pages with a hair dryer. Warming them makes the pictures easy to remove when they are stuck from time. KD
This book mentioned in recent postings.Could anyone tell me or transcribe the index too names.It looks like,My Blatchford family converted to Quakerism in order to get married. Not unusal.Does antone Know of an Isacc Willey from early Ct area.pre 1638. keep on-keeping on-never quit. Roger
Thanks Jane!
