What used to happen and may still happen in rural spots, especially in the South and Mid-west, is the community home-coming picnic where families would return to visit; eat a communal picnic and have a family/friends reunion. Often around the time for decorating and cleaning up cemeteries.

Here's a potential match in Kentucky, born 1902.
Big back pats to everyone who labeled even one person in their old photos!

They're listed at Main and Court St, Breathitt, KY in 1920 (no house number listed). Dad's birthplace is listed as Ireland and his mother tongue listed as French! (The enumerator probably misunderstood "Irish"?) He was a surgeon at the trachoma hospital. An ophthalmic surgeon! No other children living at home.

Looking to find my Gooley/Fitzgerald connection from Ireland to Chicago, Illinois.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
