Thanks Carol and Alandra. I really am glad I have this photo. I started an Elmore Family web site several years ago and this is the home page photo. We have over 100 members.

Hi Gary, another handsome ancestor! Excellent. Haven't checked the photos for a few days, so have a lot of catching up to do : )

I just realized I confused this one with another. The original of this was not a tintype. This came from a portrait that hung on my uncle's wall in his home in Oklahoma. I snapped a few shots of it with my 35mm camera and had them printed. Then I scanned the best one and spiffed it up a bit with Photoshop. The original now hangs on my cousin's wall in his home in Oklahoma.

Thanks. I restored this myself with Photoshop. The original is on a small tintype.
