[HOME] [CHURCH] [FAMILY] [HISTORY] [ON-LINE LIBRARY] [SURNAMES]

Welcome to the genealogy section of the new Tin Type Shop. In these pages you will find the old Tin Type Shop, the Pegelow Post and Messages for May combined. May's site was primarily a history of the Eastwood family, which was in the Douglas family line. If you will go to the Douglas section and click on the surname list, you will be able to locate her information there. The surname index should be fully accessible on the Douglas(s) side of the line, with the exception of the three special photo groupings at the bottom. Those will begin to appear in the near future.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO PUT THESE LISTS TOGETHER FROM CENSUS REPORTS AND THE HIGH COST OF PULLING RECORDS TO DOCUMENT ITEMS, IT HAS BECOME NECESSARY FOR ME TO IMPOSE A FEE FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER RESEARCHERS. THE BASE FEE FOR NAME LOOK UP FROM MY DATABASE IS NOW $2.50 PER NAME. THE COST OF PHOTOCOPYING FROM THE WEBSITE OR DOCUMENTS FROM MY FILES IS 50 CENTS PER PAGE. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO DO ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE RESEARCH ON YOUR BEHALF, I HAVE NUMEROUS LIBRARIES IN LOS ANGELES TO ACCESS INFORMATION. THE FEE FOR OUTSIDE RESEARCH IS $25.00 PER HOUR. FEES FOR DOCUMENT COPYING, I.E. MILITARY FILES, BIRTH OR DEATH CERTIFICATES, ETC. ARE BASED UPON THE ACTUAL CHARGES OF THAT STATE. PLEASE BE AWARE: BIRTH, DEATH AND MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES MAY NOT EXIST IF THE STATE IN QUESTION DID NOT REQUIRE THEM PRIOR TO A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.

I have begun verifying the ahnentafel charts against the census records and have completed reviewing Blagg through the census years 1850, 1860 and 1870 and have reviewed Eastwood through 1850 and am about half-way through 1860. I will be going through each of the surnames and running the entire surname in the census to improve our validity. If you have family groups that connect, please let me know so they can be included. I have many family names in my database that are not yet connected to their proper place within the Ahnentafels. The Ahnentafels are being upgraded at the end of each Census check so you may want to keep checking back to see if your family has been connected. If you can connect your line to one of these, please send me an e-mail. I need names, dates, locations and documentation and photos if you have them and are willing to share.

The Pegelow section has been extensively enlarged. The individual listings for the alpha letter A are now up and running. Pegelow is up and running as to both the Individuals and the Ahnentafel (aka History). You will also find some variations on the surname Schmidt under Census. The letter B is almost done as to Individuals. We just have to add the links and then they will be uploaded. Additional Pegelow information is being updated daily. Please keep checking back.

We will be adding history books to the on-line library at some time in the future. You will notice that some of the books that are of a religious nature also contain historical information. You may want to check the church membership books. If you have a book to share, let me know and I'll give you the format to do the transcriptions. You can do them in Word as a text document and I can transfer them into Front Page to get the html coding behind the document and add the links. If you transcribe a book please add the statement "transcribed by (your name) to the document and add the date. If you send photos or have an article that is of original text that you think we should share, please indicate (submitted by (your name)) Please note that I do not publish information about living individuals, which is why I ask for you to include dates with names. This is to protect the living from identity theft. If you send an ahnentafel chart, I will remove the generations that include you and your parents if you forget to do so and I see that these are living people. Once I finish with the census reviews, I will be publishing an updated individuals list which will include all names with our surnames in my database. That is a long-term project, so don't look for it any time soon. If you have someone you don't see in the Ahnentafel, ask me. I may have them in my database because of the census reviews

Something new that I recently discovered. If you are stuck before the 1850 census, try looking at the microfilm for the Pension applications for the War of 1812. I am reviewing them at the Mormon Temple history center and discovered that they often contain the wife's maiden name and date of marriage and death dates for the soldier's and wives. Also, it often shows where these people were in 1850, 1855 and 1878, which will lock them to the 1850 census for you. Chances are highly likely that you may find your missing Revolutionary War soldier connection doing this index as many of the same soldiers fought in both wars (assuming age is within the time frame.)
