My Unique Irish Ancestors

Old photos of family ancestors are priceless treasures. Often there is no story to accompany the photo and the viewer is left to wonder. I was lucky to receive the names of the people in this photo (Aunt Belle, Jack Nugent, Phil McCormick, Eileen McCormick, Frances McCormick, Valjean (Spec) McCormick, McCarthy). Spec is my grandmothers brother who I met when I was young. He had a great sense of humor and a head of hair to match. He also owned a bara fitting role for an Irishman! Circa 1930s.

I created this page for an assignment at Get It Scrapped 'Give Old Photos and Stories New Life' http://debbiehodge.com/2012/11/old-heritage-photos-scrapbook-pages/
