This is my maternal great grandfather, George Washington Elmore. Although he was from Tennessee, he was a Union officer.

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.

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.

WOW !! you did a fine job on this one too. Its great to be able to restore these old photos for the younger generations to pass on down.

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