This is a huge photo and my flatbed scanner is not hardly big enough. There are only two people
I can identify, though I see familiar faces throughout. It's my guess this might be a Sunday School
class. I also wonder at the location. This is the house in which you see them standing around in other
photos. The big difference....a portion of the porch has been enclosed in this later photo.
That porch, at one time, extended almost the entire width of the house with the gingerbread moulding.
I wonder who's house this is? Maybe Uncle Chris??
I've marked with photoshop your grgrandpa Edward's brother Fred and his daughter, Frieda. This is Ward's
father, my dad's 1st cousin and who eventually owned Grgrandpa Phillip's farm.

Uncle Chris Gossman's kids. Names listed on back of photo
This is interesting but I have no idea what it says. It is signed S. Lang who I suppose
is Martha Ann Gossman's husband. The Dorothy and Edwina mentioned are their
daughters. Your grgrandpa Edward's sister.

Your grgrandpa Ed and Chloe Gossman
A group of cute kids, I think they're in that group picnic image, but have no names.
The next group is interesting, but badly damaged by fire and time. All of these are tintypes, although
I have one ambrotype which was developed on glass. They are very fragile and the images are chipping off
and fading badly. No names but the ones I'm showing I believe are the Gossman's that traveled by the ship.
Note: You can barely read something scratched above image that says ?? me a Rebel. This is probably grgrandpa
Phillip or Uncle Chris. Those are the only two in Civil War that I know of.

Whoever this is, I looked like her when I was younger.

I think this may be our grgrandpa Phillip and Uncle Chris, but there's no way to be sure. What do you think?

Last two pictures. This first is my mom, Aunt Ruth Gossman, Uncle Leon Gossman and my dad. The second is
mom and dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary picture taken in 1988. My brother Stephen (the one that did the dna test),
my sister Phyllis, mom and dad, my brother David and myself at the end.
