Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Date this photo please - McBroom
« on: Sunday 05 December 10 17:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Les
Brian McBroom from Ohio here.  You've assisted me in the past.
I don't have any information that would indicate a connection between Samuel Todd McBroom my great grand uncle, and your Isaac McBroom in Illinois.  Maybe in distant past.
My great great grandfather was Walter McBroom, almost sure from Ballyboly Co. Antrim.
Settled in Dearborn County Indiana 1850's
Married Ann Jane Todd
Samuel Todd their first born son, my great grandfather Robert Miller McBroom's brother.

Hope you are well and thanks!
Brian

Yes the photo is dated but there was some question as to who dated it, when dated and if the date was correct.  My assumption that knowing the gun make model and year would help date the photo also sort of falls flat too after I thought about my own friends and family that hunt with guns that have been passed down within their/our own families.

I do appreciate your help and comments.

Thank you both
Yes I have all the dates and info on the family history and I appreciate your checking.
Viola C McBroom is my 1st cousin 2x removed
Samuel and Anna C McBroom are my great grand uncle and aunt.

I met a distant relative online doing research and she is scanning these images and emailing to me as we speak.
It's so rewarding to have these images, and to be able to finally "see" what our ancestors looked like and the expresions in their eyes.

Thanks again

This just received this photo from a distant releative.

The photo of the two people are husband and wife.  Samuel and Anna C.

The other photo is of my great grand uncle Samuel.  Does the other woman in the back look like the his wife?
They had a daughter Cleo.
I'm trying to date these photos.  I wish I knew someone who what familiar with antique shotguns.
I have an idea when the photos were taken but would like to hear from any of you that may want to chime in.

Does the woman in the middle seem like she could be the daughter Cleo?
Does the woman and man in the 3 person photo lookl like the same woman and man in the 2 person photo?

Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Brian

Antrim / McBroom - adoption?
« on: Saturday 11 September 10 05:50 BST (UK)  »
Tryng to find information on my GG Grandfather Walter McBroom.  Born around 1831.  I have his US naturalization document and he states he was a native of County Antrim Ireland.  He arrived in New York on May 21, 1850.  He settled in Indiana USA.
After arriving in US Indiana ...
1st wife
Mary Jane Lawghery 1832 – ?
1st child
Hugh L McBroom 1857 – 1932

2nd wife
Ann Jane Todd 1842 – 1925
Children
Martha McBroom 1863 – 1932
Samuel Todd McBroom 1865 – 1946
Ann Jane McBroom 1868 –  ?
Mary L McBroom 1870 – 1879
William J McBroom 1871 – 1872
Robert Miller McBroom 1872 – 1927

According to his statement on naturalization paperwork, he embarked on his voyage to US in Belfast Ireland.  

Seeing that his first son was named Hugh and his first daughter was named Martha - I have followed that path and found a Hugh McBroom b: 1796 that married a Martha MacKay and they had 8 children in County Antrim, but none of the 8 kids were named Walter.  

Suppose Walter was either adopted or was a relative and was living with Hugh and Martha.  He would not show up in the First Presbytarian Christing records, but could have still lived with them.

When he settled in Indiana USA, he may have honored his "parents Hugh and Martha" by naming his first born after them.   Possibility?  Likely?   Thoughts?

Antrim / Re: Walter McBroom

ok suppose Walter was adopted.  For instance, suppose his parents died and he went to live with Hugh and Martha McBroom.  He would not show up in the  church records.  Suppose he lived with Hugh and Martha's family, then at age 20 decided to leave home for USA.
Where would I begin my search?  Adoption?  Relatives that passed away that had a young Walter in the family?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: who is who in this photo?

I scanned this photo while at my mom's in Indianapolis Indiana USA.  I called her to go get the photo again and she said on the back it appeared to have an ink stamp of photograper business on Alabama Street Indianapolis.  She can not read the name of the Photo Studio, but I am sure these folks lived in Indianapolis or surrounding area.

You all certainly have good eyes and have pointed out some great details.  Keep'um coming!!!

My exact thoughts too, just wanted to see if anyone else had same opinion.

Now these people could just be neighbors but all of the other photos in the box were family.

I'm thinking photo maybe around 1915-1920ish ?

Now some detective work is required.
Thank you both!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / who is who in this photo?
« on: Friday 03 September 10 14:04 BST (UK)  »
Found this wonderful photo in grandmother's shoebox of old photos.
No one alive in our immediate family that recognizes these folks.
No writing on back.

Supposing these are all family members, how do you think they relate to each other?

Grandmother?
Parents?
Children?
Grandchildren?

Also does anyone have an idea of date of this photo?  Time peroiod?
