-----Original Message----- <SNIP> I have scanned the photos and was thinking of submitting the scanned images to the McLennan Co. USGenweb website if they would post them to the website. Is that a good idea, or would anyone have a better suggestion? Thanks for any suggestions. Cathy Wood Osborn ------------------------------- Cathy,What a wonderful story and great posting. I think that contacting the McLannan Co. Genealogy Society is a great idea to have them post and may be identify the images. Another place you might contact and give the images to is the web site - http://www.deadfred.com They have a good track record in finding families. Thank you, Fred

I hope you will post to McLennan if they won't accept try the Falls Website. I am from Falls county (next door to McLennan) and I might see some of my relatives. If you can scan I'd love to see and help identify. Can you scan and send one by one? -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Osborn <cathywoodosborn@gmail.com> To: tx-vintagephotos <tx-vintagephotos@rootsweb.com> Sent: Fri, Jul 27, 2012 6:15 am Subject: [TX-VINTAGEPHOTOS] Lots of tintypes A cousin of mine was contacted by a lady who bought a box full of tintypes (and a few paper photos) from an estate sale in Waco about 10-12 years ago.

Jo Ann, Thank you to sending the contact information to your friend. I would suggest that you have her contact the Cass County Genealogical Society to see if they would like the duplicate postcards for their museum or library files. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txcass/ I'm also glad to see you are planning to stay on the list as it may come alive now.

I am curious Scott. Does you reference book by chance list a photographer by the surname of Waite? Although not photographs, I have signed likenesses of my gggrandparents with that surname on them. To date I have no knowledge of who this Waite is or even what to call the likenesses. One of those curious loose ends in my family archives. Thanks in advance.

I am new to this website and also to dating old photos I have a family photo that I believe to be have been taken in Rusk, Smith or Upshur County, TX 1880's - 1905.

There is no photographer's mark and the corners are square.? The man has a long moustache with shirt buttoned at?the collar to the side?and the lady has a ruffled yoke dress with ruffle high collar with small pin at neck.? The little girl has side buttoned boots.? If anyone has suggestions on how to closer date the card?I will appreciate it. Thank you, J Williams

RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management software. This list has been switched. For list subscribers, the changeover should be smooth. The changes primarily involve the administration tools that keep the list running behind the scenes. The list name is changing from LISTNAME-L to just LISTNAME. So you may subscribe or unsub by sending your request to: LISTNAME-request@rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish to subscribe in Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to LISTNAME-D-request@rootsweb.com . You may also continue sending your requests as you always have--either will work. The word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE must be included in the subject and may also be included in the message body. Digest subscribers will notice some changes to the list digests. New instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. In addition, the digest volume and issue number may be different (out of sequence) from what you had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are used to and you would like it changed, contact me privately at the list admin address: LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com. Also, if you run into any unusual or confusing occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be related to the changeover, let me know. If you use email headers to filter list mail to a special folder in your email program you may need to check whether your filters will need tweaking under the new system. If you previously subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the same email address you will find that you are no longer subbed in Digest mode. The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in both L and D modes. Therefore, if you wish to receive both modes, you will need to subscribe to the digests using a different email address. Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as usual. It is a great time to post a new query to try to break down those brick walls. Thanks!

Hi List, I know My grandfather left Johnson County Texas and came to Ward County to have more children there (my dad for one) and to take pictures of the people and take pictures for the railroad to get ones from back East to come to West Texas. I think he was there (showed in 1910 census Ward) from 1905 thru maybe 1919, as in 1920 census shown back in Johnson County. I bet some of you local have some of his family pictures today and he was real good at it. I wonder if any of y/all have any info on this family as follows like school/ birth records etc: These are ages in 1910 Census. Walter E. 45, Hattie L Jackson Coffman age 24, Edward age 10, Eldon age 3, Otto R. age 2, Nina M. age 10/12. Thanking you so much, Grandson of Walter E Coffman b.1867 TX, Carl Coffman b. 1933 Okla. and will thank all for reading this and any info on my family, I remain, Your truly, Carl Coffman, Associate prof. of History, Wichita State Univ., Retired, Wichita Kansas. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
