It is highly unlikely that you will be able to recover any data that was on your iPhone 3GS pre-restoration. Just to be clear I am not talking about the data you are recovering TO the iPhone, only the personal data blocks that are wiped over during a fresh recovery.
If you are using firmware 3.1.2 or later and you restore your iPhone 3GS from a new iTunes installation the hardware encryption key is replaced making all your old personal data scrambled and unrecoverable unless you have another backup. That is for sure.
Previous versions of the iPhone that do not have a hardware encryption key (3G, 2G, 1G) contain tid bits of recoverable personal information even after a new basic recovery. You would need to go through a long process of resetting all data to wipe those phones clean. Search the internet to find help to recover your personal data on those phones.
Good Luck! Sorry about your loss.
