This beautiful lady is unidentified and may or may not be Laura Allen Love. There was no identification on the picture |
The tintype was introduced in 1856, and enjoyed widespread
popularity until about 1900. The tintype gets its name from the fact
that the image is produced on a thin metal plate. Like the Daguerreotype
and Ambrotype, the emulsion was directly exposed in the camera, without
any need for a negative, so the images are often unique. My site
is named the Tin Type Shop because of the two lovely old tintypes I
found in a family album. They were black and unrecognizable when I
first found them. Now you can see the lovely ladies they
represented.

This is identified Laura Allen Love because her name appears on the back of the original |
| Daguerreotype was utilized between 1839 and 1860 and is the medium used for many of the older pictures on my site. The Daguerreotype plate was difficult and time consuming to make. A sheet of copper was plated with a thin coat of silver. This was then polished until the surface was mirror like. The photograph surface was very fragile. Daguerreotypes were typically encased. The picture usually had a brass 'mat' placed directly on the plate, and then glass was placed over this, without touching the photographic plate. Since the photograph is silver on copper, it will not attract a magnet. Also, if the plate is carefully removed from the case, you can see the copper on the back |

Ambrotype was created in 1854 and reached the height of its popularity between 1855 through 1860. The Ambrotype photograph was made by coating a piece of glass with silver solution and exposing this to the image. The image is on the BACK of the glass and is sandwiched with another glass behind it. The back glass is coated with a black substance. Care must be taken to not scratch the back, dark surface, as you will scratch away the photograph. Because the photograph is glass and very fragile, all Ambrotype pictures were mounted in a frame, usually brass, and then placed in protective case. |

FAMILY

clicking on this word takes you to the genealogy section Revised May 1, 2008 Please note: Due to the high volume of requests, which take time away from my regular work, while there is no charge for viewing these pages, there is a charge for assisting you with your research. See Welcome page for more details. We have received an enormous amount of assistance from fellow researchers, which help is much appreciated by all. What we are attempting to do is to coordinate all of the massive bits of information floating about and consolidating them into one big website. There will be errors, but as we find corrections, we are attempting to make them. If you find something that requires correction, please provide your documentation otherwise I cannot change it. There is a great deal of misinformation on our family lines, including the census records. Some misspells were created because people were illiterate, or the information was given by someone other than the individual involved. When that occurred, the recorder simply spelled it the best they could. |
CHURCH
-
Revised 9 May 2008 Clicking takes you to information regarding my Church and the history of our sect. You will also find information regarding the Los Angeles Bach Festival and the Great Organs of First church, which collectively create the largest church draw knob pipe organ in the world. We have just recently received a huge box of photos and old clippings from the church and hope to have some of this scanned and available in the very near future, including a nice write up on the stained glass windows. Many of these photos will be in black and white due to the period in which they were taken. A portion of the Stained Glass Window Collection is now up and running as is a section written by Jim Rhone in 1956 which gives a history of Cedar Lake Camp and how its development was envisioned by the original purchasers. If you have historical photos or documentation from First church and would like to share, please contact the webmaster. (see address below) |
STATE
takes you to a history of state and
county formations. We will be adding places to visit, by state in
the near future. If you know of a place to stay or to visit in
your state, please let us know. (See address below)
This section is due for a major overhaul. If anyone wants to undertake this project, please contact the webmaster. If you are working with "Front Page", you can e-mail me an html copy to upload. If not, I can copy and past a written report. Please do not copy someone else's work verbatim. Proper citations should be used giving credit where credit is due.

Please visit our newest addition to the Tin Type Shop. THE COUNTRY
STORE. The items in this shop are from a series of art and photo
collections. The first featured selections will be from The Little
Pilgrim Collection.; All artwork from this section except for one, is
created from children's artwork. Proceeds from sales of these items will
be contributed to a children's scholarship fund. The next section will be
a collection of items created from some of the old family photo albums.
There will be a third collection created from pictures from my church.
Sales from these items will also be allocated to special funds.
Also included in this section is a bookstore. My current affiliation is with Amazon.com and features new and used books and recordings related to the three main research sections of my website. I hope to expand this as other affiliate organizations become available. If you are looking for recordings from organists of First Church, you will find them listed here. I'm still trying to figure out how their system works, so if you don't find what you are looking for in the immediate sidebar, check the other areas and I may have accidentally put them there. Genealogy books are mixed up into the Pipe Organ section I will try to fix that problem today. Proceeds from sales of books will be used to help pay to keep this website up and running and to pay for additional research. This website is currently free. If you want to keep it that way, please help out by shopping through our store. Please visit THE COUNTRY STORE. |

please contact Gary at glpegelow@hotmail.com as he maintains his own database
separate from mine. Each aspect of my site is divided into three main sections. The primary section of this
will be the Family pages, which comprise our lineage and the individuals who
came before. I welcome any and all documentation to these families and
would love to see your Ahnentafels to see where you fit into the puzzle.
Where possible, photos have been included of individuals. We have been
placing these Ahnentafels into a big database and are slowly comparing them to
the census records for verification. I
am extracting all individuals in those years with similar surnames and trying
to see how many of these families we can connect into one big family.
My family name pages are divided into two separate surname sections. Douglas is my line. Pegelow is my husband's line. Please click on the word "Family" and then on the surname you wish to research to get the correct index. To go directly to my line, click on the underlined word [DOUGLAS SURNAME INDEX] or SPECIAL NOTE RE PEGELOW POST: The old Pegelow Post remains on this website.
