Morrissey/Lavy/Smith/Isaacsen, Those easy names!

Decided to scan some of the old family photos before they get ruined. Started out with some nice snaps from Diamondville, Wyoming around 1914.

I decided to keep the photos large enough to tell who-is-who for anyone interested in Diamondville during that time. Feel free to save a copy of the photo if your relative is in it.

If you have a Hood from Scotland who settled in Wyoming or Idaho in your family tree we are probably related. My Great-great grandmother Mary Neil Hood was married to Marvin Louis Smith. Tom and George Smith, my great-uncles, played baseball/softball for the Diamondville team. My Grandmother, Ella May Smith sang at the drop of a hat and sang at all the Bobby Burns celebrations.

Will have more family-type photos up soon.
