33. Photo Album of Miles Tupper (1855-1946).
Many of the photos in this database are taken from the three books of Miles Tupper’s photo album. Some of the photos must have originally belonged to his parents. From Miles the album passed to Miles’s son George and George’s daughter Dorothy. Dorothy made photocopies of some of the pages and distributed them to relatives. Some of these images date from the earliest days of photography, which began in 1837. The writing that appears in some of the photos is probably George’s.

86. Ostfriesen Genealogy.
This information was kindly sent to me as a GEDCOM file on 11 Apr 2007 by Dieter Pollmann of Ostfriesland, Germany. In many cases Ortssippenbuch (OSB) numbers or other primary sources are given in Dieter’s notes. In some cases the file indicated additional marriages but no details were included; I have indicated these cases in English. A wealth of information on OSBs and other aspects of Ostfriesen genealogy is available at the OGSA Web site at http://www.ogsa.us/index.shtml . A post to the Ostfriesen mailing list ( http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/OSTFRIESEN/1999-12/0944598530 ) gives a helpful explanation of some of the occupational notes found here. The Ancestry article at http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library/article.aspx?article=3707 also mentions some Ostfriesen occupational terms: “For my Ostfriesen ancestors, there are many who are listed as either a hausmann, a warfsmann, or a tagelöhner. The first owns a ‘full farm,’ the second owns a small house and perhaps some land, and the third is a farm laborer.”
