    Hi Shirley,
    I'm a volunteer for FindAGrave that is how I knew how to find him. I looked on FindAGrave in England and America for the other members you had listed but couldn't find them.
    Another way you may find them is through this link:
    http://www.magravestones.org
    This is a Massachusetts link but they have them for all the states. I haven't been an active volunteer for this site because sadly it takes longer to upload each person and they are very rigid with photos and more.
    I wish you the best. I have 2 large brickwalls myself. My maternal and paternal ggg grandfather's.
    Sincerely,
    Spirit

    I don't know about that. The Baker lineage is so difficult that serious genealogists are having DNA done, apx $350 a pop. I don't have a male in the line to have the test done and I am stuck 1800's on only my 4th generation.
    All I know is my GGG Grandfather was born in NY, or so it appears, and was killed aft being a POW for a couple of months in Virginia during the Civil War. Appears he had one son and 2 wives, once divorced aft a forced marriage.

    Hi Shirley,

    Too bad you didn't get any info off of the films.

    Try picnik.com, it is 100% free, to try to resize your pics. I use it to make pics smaller. See how it works out to make them bigger. It helps a lot with the color too.

    Hope your holidays where good to you.

    Sincerely,

    Spirit
