I support the answers you received so far from Joyce_B and Ted Pack.
You can also access the US databases of Ancestry.com for free at your local public library. Telephone your public library and find out where the main genealogy collection is kept for the public library system/network. It will probably be at the main/headquarters branch. That will be where you can go and access Ancestry.com (US databases only) by using a library computer.
I did check some of the Ancestry.com databases for you. According to the WWI Draft Registration card for your Vallie, he spelled his last name Steltz, plus he gave his birth date as July 8, 1877, birthplace: Cecil County, Maryland. In the WWII Draft Registration (the "old men's draft" - registration for men beyond the draft age, in case they needed to be called up for military service during WWII) for him, Vallie Roy Steltz, born July 8, 1877, he stated he was born at York, Pennsylvania (that could be either York County or the city of York in York County.)
Since the 1880 census record Joyce_B found for you (and which you apparently saw in a post from someone else someplace else) gives the parents of Vallie R. Steltz (I looked closely at the handwriting on the census ledger image - it is "Steltz" - a transcriber wrote it as "Stiltz") you will want to look for an 1870 census record for an Adam Steltz (maybe mis-spelled or mis-transcirbed "Stiltz" or something even farther afield - Stilz, Stilts, Stelts, Stills, Stilly, Stelly, Stelty, etc. - think of all the possible ways someone might mis-read poor handwriting and transcribe the name.) who was born about 1842 in Pennsylvania. He may have been living in Pennsylvania in 1870 or maybe in Maryland, where he and his family were living in 1880, or some other state.
If you don't want to take the time or energy to go to the public library in your area that subscribes to the Ancestry.com US databases, the public library system may also subscribe to the HeritageQuest databases, which also include US census records. If so, you can access the HeritageQuest databases through your library web site and logging into your valid library borrower account, You can telephone the public library and ask a reference librarian to talk you through accessing the census database of HeritageQuest. If you do not hold a valid public library borrower card, you will have to obtain one. You will need to bring a photo ID to the library or some other valid information to identify you. Ask a librarian what you need when you telephone the public library about HeritageQuest or the library to access Ancestry.com.
If you do choose to go to the library with the main genealogy collection, there may be some of those "old fashioned" things called books that a reference librarian in the genealogy section can help you with. Some of the books (or "hard copy databases" as I like to call them) will have genealogical information for Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Adam R. Steltz, father of your Vallie R. Steltz.
Please be aware that even in this electronic and Internet age, not all information is in electronic form and on "the web."

I did some more "lookin'." There was a Steltz family in York Co., PA, with the patriarch, Philip Steltz, Sr. (born about 1735.) He owned quite a bit of land in York Co. and Baltimore Co., MD. There is a multiple page genealogy for him and his descendants: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lsfeist/PSteltz/d8142.htm However, I do not find any listing of your Vallie/Valley Steltz/Stiltz or his father Adam R. Steltz, born about 1842, there. Eventually, with research, you may determine if your Vallie was a part of this extended Steltz family.
If you have not already done so, you may wish to post your query on one or more of the free (registration required) genealogy message boards:

(This message board had a lot of hits on Steltz Union (Bethlehem) Church in York Co. - church name and cemetery sometimes spelled "Stiltz." I believe that is the church Philip Steltz, Sr., mentioned above helped found.)

With luck, someone else researching the same Steltz/Stiltz family line or a related one will see your posted message and reply. You may have to be patient and wait years and years for any reply, however.

Answer
DO NOT uninstall any or you will be removing important Windows XP updates.
SP-2 when installed became part of the operating system and can only be removed by re-installing windows SP-1.
Windows XP SP-2 was the greatest advancement in Windows security since Windows first came out.
Remove it and your computer wont last a day connected to the Internet!.
I Have ALL those updates and use all of the following.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)
for further information on computer safety.
