Hi all,
I am not related to Pecks, but in my parents' belongings I have found a family reunion plate for the Peck family 1850-1987. I wonder if those dates ring any bells for people with that surname.

They may have been wheat farmers and wine growers because the outer edge of the plate is illustrated with these items. They might also have been settlers in South Australia, as the plate was made by the 'Personalized Porcelain Co.' 1 Fourth Avenue, Klemzig, South Australia, later known as Studio Potters, but no longer there. My parents used to holiday quite a lot in South Australia and may have picked it up on one of those trips.

The family may have originally come from Germany as the crudely designed family crest has the word 'Saxony' underneath the red cross, and the surname Peck at the top.

The photo makes the plate look oval shaped, but it is circular.

If you have a connection to this plate, please let me know.

Hi all,

This is my grandmother, probably taken in the 40's.  I am hoping some magic can be worked on it.



Thanks,

Nina

Hi all,

Someone long ago suggested I request that someone look at the details for the following, and I am just getting around to it!  I'm not even sure if it is possible...but I thought I'd ask anyway!

I am seeking someone who is able to have a look at New York County records for two deaths:

Joseph Carson, 65 yrs, old died Aug 31, 1946, in Manhattan NY. Death Certificate #18671 If he is mine, his father was Thomas, mother Elizabeth Crombie.

His wife Jessie Carson, ms Anderson, 65 yrs old, died Oct 20, 1947, in Manhattan NY.  Death Certificate # 22505.  IF she belongs to me, her father is David Anderson, and mother Janet or Jessie Hislop

Thanks for reading!

Nina

Please help!

This is the only photo we have of my Mum's Granny.  It has just been emailed to me, so I don't have the original, and it may have been worked on before I received it.

It is my Mum's birthday on the 20th April and I would just love to give her this photo as a surprise.  She hasn't seen it for over 40 years but I had my cousin hunt it down for me (he is in Scotland, I am in Australia).

When I checked the resolution on my comouter it seems high, so I am hoping it was correct!

Thanks,

Nina

Hi all,

I just received a marriage extract for my ancestors and it states the groom was from Decomed.   I have never heard of this place and was unable to find anything on the internet.  Does it still exist?  I am hoping someone here knows more about it.
