Hi...researching the Walter Walker Brown and Thomas C. Brown Sr. and Jr, families. Lived in Shelby COunty in late 1800's and early 1900's.....Thanks....

I'm looking for anything that might verify a family member was in Memphis. A Swedish Immigration record says Frans Wickenberg immigrated to Memphis in Sep 1870. But we only find him in Wisconsin. Was there a Swedish community in Memphis, TN in 1870? It sounds like an unusual place for a Swede to go when he had no family there. Thanks, Greg

I would like to pass along a good place to have copies made of old pictures. I use Office Depot. they will make a copy that is very good quality, black and white or color. you can make the same size as the original or they will enlarge. it is done while you wait, and the price is good a color picture, page size is only $1.29 or if you have several small pictures they will all fit on one page for the same price. you can choose stiff paper or shinny paper. price may be a few cents more for better quality paper.

You may love your parents and older relatives dearly, but do not trust their thoughts, about family history. If you are in doubt about your familie's photographs "borrow" them and copy them or just forget to bring them back or use whatever ruse to preserve the past. You are not now tied to a great expense at a photo shop to copy old photos as many of the copy shops can do virtually photo-quality copies for very little money. Besides, this allows you to preserve the originals. Also you should store in "Acid- free" containers and be very careful with transparent tape, glue and "photo corners" If in doubt, contact a paper expert at a local museum. Some historic documents need to be sealed in glass, away from any sun or heat.
