You can scan in the "tintype" at a higher resolution like 300 dpi and then use a more sophisticated graphics program like Photoshop to restore the scanned in immage. I have recently been working on lots of these with good results. I had to take a course on Photoshop at the local community college last summer to learn how to use it sufficiently and to get up to speed quickly. This is what I would recommend you do. It will be a lot cheaper also. George At 10:04 PM 8/26/01 -0800, you wrote: >Hello List, >O.K. my photo is a tintype.

Hello List, O.K. my photo is a tintype. Thank you to all who took the time to answer my question about tintype vs. Daguerreotype photos. Next question. The photo is very dark. I tried scanning it, with only mediocre results in the final print copy. Are there photo processing places out there that can reproduce tintype photos in such a way that one could have a good quality print from the tintype? Thanks again.

Dear List Members, I was sent this site by a fellow researcher "Index to the Guion Miller Roll" http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/guionmiller/index.htm I found it very interesting - and thought I would pass it on to you. Now for the other items. This message is being sent out to all of my list, some which only have 3 members and some with almost 1000. If you are one of my smaller lists and feel that you only hear from me, why don't you take this opportunity to send a query to the list. If you need help from me, please put something in the subject line to alert me that the message is a request for help. When I am at work during the day I use http://www.mail2web.com from my office computer to keep an eye on my lists. I can only read the subject line from there and unless I open each and every message which most times are in the hundreds by 10 am in the morning. This is two time consuming while at work. So, to repeat, if you need my help, please place something in the subject line so that I will know your request needs attention quickly. One more item, It is time or about time when most children are heading back to school and many Moms and or Dads who are staying home now have additional time to work on their genealogy. If we begin to get messages across the lists that do not conform to the guidelines we have for our list, please just let them pass. Remember I am behind the scenes taking care of these problems, helping members subscribe and unsubscribe and reminding members of the guidelines of the list. The only time I send out corrections to the entire list is when the entire list is involved or when one of our members is being attached on the list - I then come to the defense in the same place the attack took place -- On the list. Enjoy the site - Thank you for your continued support. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Hello list, What is the difference between a daguerreotype and a tintype? I have a photo that seems like it is made of metal, has been bent slightly in one place, and I think was taken circa 1890. It is very dark, almost like a negative. What are the main differences between the two types of photographs? Thanks.

I don't about any special care needed. I have one of my grandfather that was taken about 1929-1930 in central Iowa.

Hello list, Other than the acid free photo sleeves, is there any special care to be taken with tintype photographs? Also, what is the time range that those type of photos were taken?

Hello all -- I'm getting a little confused. There has been discussion today of phototrail.com and picturetrail.com. I can link to [http://www.picturetrail.com/] but I can't connect to [www.phototrail.com\]. Are there two sites with these similar names? Or is one name incorrect? (It's late here in NJ and I'm getting bleared-eyed with all my surfing. So please forgive me if this doesn't make sense.) Phyllis in NJ

Joe -- Thanks for the offer. I'll may take you up on it for my personal family photos. However, my current mission is to find a free site for our high school alumni photos. We have connected with about 1500 classmates from a period of 50+ years. We are starting to accumulate both old and new photos that are currently posted at the MyFamily site. I'm looking for a photo site that's free, has a large capacity and is easy to use. Thanks again, Phyllis Histroy101@aol.com wrote: > HI Phyllis and Sam ! ,,, I'm Joe > > Maybe this might help ..

I have been wondering where the info about the new site limit and charges came from as I don't recall receiving such a notice. I just carefully reviewed my MyFamily Site and finally found a notice at the bottom of my page which said I had gone over my limit also. I then found that they offer subscribers to the Ancestry site a free upgrade. Here is the notice: Special Offer for Ancestry.com Subscribers: Annual subscribers to Ancestry.com receive a free Premium Site or Premium Site Upgrade. To receive this special offer: 1. Select the option for "Add 100 MB 200 MB ($19.95 Annually)" above. 2. Enter your Ancestry.com Username and Password below. 3. Click "Upgrade My Site!" I entered my Ancestry user name and password and now am credited with 200MBs. I haven't prices other sites, but believe it is a bargain. I did look at this site recommended in the August PC WORLD magazine as the best home page site was at www.homestead.com. It offers fairly user friendly methods to build your own site. You can see some of the results if you take the tour and some owner sites look really good. They charge 49.95 per year. I still think MyFamily site is much better for my needs and since I have a lot of time invested in it, I think I will stay with it and even if I had to pay the additional 20.00 per year, it isn't too bad. After all, there is no free lunch anymore.
