Can you help me identify the folks in this picture?
Here’s what I think I know.
I will be posting wedding photos that I come across in Claire’s photo archives (a great big pile of photos!). I’d love to get a wedding (or other couples) picture from everyone in the St.Clair/Gibbons/Walsh family tree. Email (jstclair3@gmail.com) is best as Facebook compresses images.
Claire Gibbons St.Clair Family
John St.Clair, Sr. Family
Harriett Gibbons Smith Family
Someone in the family visited Ireland. If I knew who, I would give them credit for this picture which was included in the massive number of photos in my mother’s estate.
The photo is inscribed on the back with the message:
grandfather Michael Walsh buried with his first wife – His name is near the bottom of the tombstone
