Rescued Photo, MOONEY Surname, Portsmouth, OH

KBarnes1958 — 18 Sep 2008 1:26:46 GMT

As a hobby, I rescue old photos that have identification on them.

I recently obtained one of a couple, both dressed (probably) in black. It's a sepia tone (the browns) photo so it's hard to tell for sure. He's wearing a tux style suit with a white bow tie. She's dressed in a long gown, with Victorian puffy shoulder/sleeves and has an oh so narrow waist! She's holding his arm as if he's escorting her. Someone wrote Mr. and Mrs. G.A. Mooney along the bottom of the photo. It was taken in Portsmouth, OH. My guess, late 1800s.

Old army photo

JulieGerren71 — 7 Feb 2007 1:04:21 GMT

I have an old army picture that was in my brother in law's things when he died. I wanted to try to find a home for some of these pics before I toss them forever.

The inscription on the back of the pic says:

Gene Butler, New York, a very good friend of mine.

Photo: Mary Leighninger, Coshocton, Ohio

joecan — 28 Sep 2002 10:43:25 GMT

Found in an antique store near Zanesville Ohio. An old CDV photo by E V Coe Coshocton. Written on the back:

"Mary Leighninger was born Aug 20 1796. Age 83 years".

Could this be the Mary Wolf who married George Leighninger? I think this is her in 1880:

Found research material, Albany NY

peter_flass — 30 Aug 2008 11:42:02 GMT

A while ago I bought a used copy of FTM at a garage sale. Today when I looked at the package I found the original owner (whom I suspect is deceased) left a folder of notes and research material regarding these surnames, among others. I most likely couldn't identify the people I bought the package from, and it's likely that they had no interest in genealogy or they would probably have not been so happy to have someone buy everything for $1.

I have no connection to these surnames, but also no desire to toss out someone's work. If there's anyone there who has a connection, I'd be happy to mail it to you.

Rescued Photo, PIERCE Surname, Sacramento, California Location

KBarnes1958 — 27 Aug 2008 1:09:11 GMT

As a hobby, I rescue old photos that have identification on them. I obtained one from an auction, of a little girl. Her hair is curled in pipe curles down the front of her shoulders and her hair is brown. She's about 5 years old and identified as Helen Whitney PIERCE. I don't know if WHITNEY is her maiden name, or her given middle name. I will post this also on the WHITNEY message board.

The photo was taken in Sacramento, California. It appears to be late 1800s, early 1900s. It's a sepia (the browns) tone photo.

I'd like to locate family to send this to. If you'd like to obtain it, contact me at: digginroots@yahoo.com

Rescued Photo, PIERCE Surname, Cooperstown, ND Location

KBarnes1958 — 29 Jul 2008 2:51:48 GMT

As a hobby, I rescue old photos that have identification and attempt to locate family to send them to.

I rescued a photo of two ladies, taken either late 1800's-early 1900's. It was taken by George Von Blon of Cooperstown, ND. One is identified as Laura Pierce and the other as Aunt Ella.

I hope to find family members who would be interested in having this treasure. Laura has beautiful dark hair and eyes-very striking. Aunt Ella's hair is dark, but she appears to have light (blue or green) eyes. She may even be older than Laura.

Detmar Family Bible

patmrshll — 1 Jul 2008 4:22:36 GMT

I found recently at a fleamarket a very large family bible of the Detmar family. It starts with a recorded birth of Catherine Izabeller Detmar born 8th March 1778. It also gives a time but it is hard to read. It then goes on to say she died of Small Pox on 10th July 1779. It records others too up till about 1820s. They are from Middlesex London. I got this as I am a keen genealogist and would like to reunite it with its family. (I would love to find one of mine)
If anyone is interested please contact pat at patmrshll@aol.com...... I do not wish to make any profit and would only ask what I paid and postage. It is a very large bible though so I am not sure how much it would cost.

Roger Family Bible

RogerandLarson — 3 Jun 2008 3:31:42 GMT

I'm hoping that someone will locate my husband's family bible. William ROGER died in Telluride, Colorado in 1940, and his wife Maria Christina SENA passed away in Durango, Colorado in 1941. According to Chris's Uncle Don, who was about 13 at the time, he gave the Roger family bible to a Mrs. WHITE in Telluride for safekeeping, and was unable to return to retrieve it for many years.

Names in the bible would be William ROGER, born in Lonmay, Scotland in 1866, and it would probably list a previous marriage to a Cora Isbell CANFIELD.

Found Cabinet Cards of Herrington, Kemp, McNorton, Kelly, Davidson, Granger

tinkm4evr — 14 Mar 2008 5:05:05 GMT

Hello,
I have old photos of different families. I have collected these for my art projects. I would like to see if I have photos that belong to a family out there, first. I know I would love to find photos of my family members, so I hope there are people out there who are looking.
Email me and let me know if maybe these long lost photos belong to your family. Some photos have cities on them, and first names or initails. Also some have the studio where they may have been taken.
I will not use them for a few days in hopes of finding family members.
Most of these photos are cabinet cards so I would think they are from the late 1800s.
The names I have mentioned are written on the backs of the photos. I hope to here from someone soon.
Thanks

My father dug up a small silver object a few years ago and I'd love anyones ideas on what it may be. Ive dated it to 1889 and assayed in London from the hallmark. Its 7cm long and a tapered slightly flattened conical shape. Its narrow end has a small ring so it was designed to be hung from somthing. The other end flips open to allow access inside. On the top of the lid is engraved a swan like bird with wings sticking up and a fierce almost serpent head! Any ideas?

Looking for information on a Lula Mae and Lemuel - married 11-7-1932

RachaelAckley14 — 2 May 2008 1:58:42 GMT

I have a set of wedding goblets that my father acquired at an antique auction.
There are two - one with the name Lula Mae and the date of 11-7-32 - the othe r has the name Lemuel and the date 11-7-32. My assumption is that they are wedding goblets. I have searched through every marriage record outlet I can find - to no avail. I've also search death records - birth records and the like. It's a bit tough without a last name!
If anyone has any information with regards to these names or the date - please let me know. I'd really like to track down any ancestor/s and get these goblets into the hands of a family member. Thank you!

3 photos of young Marguerite F. Baightel

SBarlowPowell — 1 May 2008 11:11:41 GMT

I purchased 3 photos of a young girl with Marguerite Baightel written on the back of all three. I believe she was the daughter of Tad A Baightel and Mary E or C Baightel. Tad was born in OH in Dec 1864 and Mary was born in NY in Mar 1870. They had another daughter named Vesta or Vester who was born in May 1896. Tad died 13 Oct 1918 in Cuyahoga, OH In the 1900 census, the family was living in Collinwood Township, Cuyahoga Co, OH and in 1910 they were in Cleveland Ward, Cuyahoga Co, OH.The young lady appears to be about 6-8 in the pics. If this is your family, please contact me at spowell40@ntelos.net. I want the purchase price which was 10 dollars to return them to her proper family.

Engagement Ring

misszandme — 14 Apr 2008 3:18:19 GMT

I have been researching the genealogy of an engagement ring that was given by a family friend--Cecilia "Cecil" Read Powell--to my grandmother's aunt--Anna "Tanna" Bushnell Read. My grandmother gave it to my mother and my mother gave it to me. It has an inscription of initials and a date inside the band and it took me a while but I believe I have found the couple belonging to the initials. Now I am curious to see if I can find any living descendants of their relatives. It appears that those most closely involved with the ring have no direct living descendants.

Here are the names I am researching:

Annie Rue Read (to whom the ring was given on 4 Sept. 1872)
born: Sept. 1850, Pennsylvania [1900 census]
married: October 1872 [Family Search]
died: sometime after 1930, possibly in Atlantic City, NJ. [1930 census]
parents: Joseph Jones Read and Cecilia Rue (aka Cecile Leroux) [Newby Family Genealogy]
siblings: Mary, John R., Cecilia, Emily, Katherine Whitney, Joseph F.B.

William Bond Knowles (who gave her the ring)
born: 20 Feb. 1848, Philadelphia, PA [The Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart 1881]
died: 22 Sept. 1875, Philadelphia, PA [The Baptist Encyclopedia]
parents: Deacon Levi Knowles and Elizabeth Adeline Crosky [The Baptist Encyclopedia, censuses]
siblings: Mary, Brevet Brigadier General Oliver Blachly, Fanny, Elizabeth

Cecilia "Celia" R. Knowles
born: 9 Apr. 1874, Philadelphia, PA.
married: before 1900 [1900 census]
died: between 1910 and 1920, apparently childless [censuses]
parents: Annie Rue Read and William Bond Knowles
husband: Francis L. Buck [1910 census]

Cecilia "Cecil" Read Powell (missionary to Japan)
born: 27 June 1892, Larchmont, WA.
never married
died: 5 Jun 1953
parents: Katherine Whitney Read and Edward B. Powell
siblings: Annie T. (army nurse) and Mary B. (deaconess)

In the 1900 census for Rockford (Winnebago Co.) IL, I found Delos Fell (born Aug 1883), Grace Fell (Oct 1886), and their parents Thomas and Elne. Elne was born May 1846.

Found Bibles

CassandraWade27 — 16 Apr 2006 5:22:07 GMT

I found some family Bibles given to a Mrs. Owen Lair from Newton, Iowa dated October 1961. Also one inscribed to either Dove or Dave from a Lee R Giddings from Pleasant View Baptist Church. I have no idea where this church is located. Another Bible is to Miss Helen Lair from M/M Don Hesson in July of 1957. Then another Bible to Helen Meredith from her husband Dennis W Meredith on her birthday 2 april 1960. I am assuming the former Helen Lair is/was Mrs Dennis Meredith.
If you are interested in having these Bibles, please let me know. I'll be happy to send them for just the price of postage.

Her parents are Edwin Stanley and Helene H. Harrison. There is a beautiful photo on the cover of the book.

Seely Photos Found

Angie — 14 Dec 2003 10:21:24 GMT

I recently purchased about 30 old photographs on ebay and most are marked from Chehalis, Washington, and Oregon. The three that are written on the back are cabinet cards with the names, Lillian and Lucy Seely, Clarence Seely, and the last one reads, "A Merry Christmas to Robert and Alta From Rene and Katie" a little hard to read, it's wrote in pencil. If anyone had a connection with this family you are more than happy to have these wonderful old photographs. Hope there is a connection.

CROOKS Family Bible - Glasgow....

@@jeansmith3012@hotmail.com — 15 Nov 2005 11:33:38 GMT

I have a Bible which belonged to a Crooks Family of Glasgow .
The Bible contains Birth Marriages and Death information from mid 1800s untill approx to mid 1900s....
It is a large well used Pulpit Bible containing even a lock of hair and some small sundry papers which may mean something to the Family Historian....
I have had the Bible over twenty years (originally hoping to trace the family) I never did get around to doing this untill a few years back....
I know the father Archibald Crooks was born in Edinburgh and moved to Glasgow (I have had contact with a very distant relation.)...
This relation feels I should continue with my search for a closer relative in order to send the Bible 'Home'
I am not looking for any payment for this treasure just the satisfaction of finishing a task and uniting some family with their own Family History written in love etc....
Many names are connected to this family of Crooks
I would welcome any interest whatsoever in it.....
Unfortunatly I confess I have been asked to send it to various researchers who could or would not satisfy my need for facts relating to this Crooks family before I let it go.
It is a valuable peice of research....
Archibald Crooks Married Agnes Gowans.....
First names in the Bible.....
Please email me privatly as well as onlist

Unnamed Photos

sharonandmark194 — 2 Dec 2007 7:20:20 GMT

I recently came across some old family photos that have no labels or writing on them. Families I am researching are HENEGAR, IVEY, SMIDDY, HOUSLEY, and TURNER (Turner only because one of the men in one of the photos is labeled in another photo as Frank M. Turner, Michigan). These pictures may or may not be these families. I have been looking for information in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Michigan but these photos came from my grandparents attic in Crab Orchard West Virginia years ago. If you'd like to take a look and see if any of these faces are your people you can view them here:
