Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Norman Allen Langley (1905-1980) of Chicago
« on: Friday 28 November 25 18:24 GMT (UK)  »
Attached is a photo of a relative of Norm's named Tom Jones (1965-2024). Could you please add a U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Uniform to the waist up on this person. Maybe you can sharpen up the features a little. The Uniform is from the Desert Storm era.
    Thank you for any help.

Hello,
Maybe someone could restructure an edited photo of Norm such that it is waist-high and he is standing normally in a pose in an American-style WWII Uniform. He served in England and North Africa as a GI if that helps. Thank you so much.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Albert Haller Gibboney Photo

Hello,
Could someone do a Confederate brush-up for my cousin Pvt. Albert Haller Gibboney (1843-1917) (William's son), who fought at Gettysburg and helped carry Gen. Henry Heth from the battlefield, thus making him a hero. The uniform should be grey with perhaps the private rank in yellow. If possible, add a 'little' medal for his heroism.
   Thanks again guys,
                        Brian

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers for all the help so far. I was hoping for one more try on a Talmage brush-up. Could someone add a WWI American GI uniform to Talmage to about the waist, and include, if possible, the WWI Victory Medal, the 'unofficial' Clover Leaf Medal (for the 88th Division), and the  Meuse-Argonne Campaign clasp. Try and make him look a little younger if possible too. He was a Private First Class in the U.S. Army during WWI.
   You guys are the best!

Looking for a special favor on the touchup. Could someone render an image of a Civil War Era William Gibboney, beardless, & wearing the uniform of a Confederate Major. That was his rank at the end of the war. Use any of the images shown on this post to render it. Thanks so much in advance for your wonderful work. The uniform should most likely be grey with yellow pin stripes.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Joseph Godfrey Swartz (1847-1887) of Virginia Photo

You folks did an excellent job of touching up the black-and-white photo of my ancestor Joseph Godfrey.  Now I have another small favor. Could someone please extend/build the image provided for Robert E Gibboney further down his chest and add a grey coat with the yellow pin stripes of a Confederate Colonel- my ancestor wore this type of uniform. Lore has it that is the uniform he wore when conducting impressment activities in Wytheville, Virginia as a CSA Prices Commissioner, an appointed post. He acted like Teague in the film Cold Mountain (2003), only this was SW Virginia. Happily, he survived. You can also find this image with his name in the rootschat index in the photo restore section as well. You did such an outstanding job on Swartz I was hoping you could work on Gibboney too. Thanks again!

An excellent job by the artists/animators. Now here is another request. Perhaps someone can kindly change the suit Joseph is wearing to a grey uniform of a Confederate Private with a yellow stripe (for rank), if possible. What ever the uniform of the time appeared to be for a rebel private. Joseph was a Private in Miller's company, Rockbridge County Virginia Reserves Infantry in 1864, if that helps.
   Thank you most kindly,
                     Brian

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Looking for names of Ships for Kulhanek Family
« on: Tuesday 12 August 25 03:14 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Looking for the name of the ship for Roland Kulhanek (1936-2016). it appears he traveled from Genoa, Italy to Venezuela in 1951 sometime, originating from Ludwigsburg, Germany, the zone of origin being Villach. They were displaced persons.
   Also looking for the ship's name for for Elsa Barmus (1938-2019) who arrived in Baltimore in March 13, 1956 from what appears to be Maracaibo, Venezuela. Here is a link to the manifest at FS, I just can't figure out the name of the ship:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-897Q-T99M-Y?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AKYJM-4GK&action=view&cc=2072742&lang=en&groupId=

Thanks, Brian
