My name is Helene R Schmidt. I am a retired photojournalist and Texas peace offier. I love old photos! I am researching the Smith family in Phelps/Pulaski Co MO, Lamar Co TX, OK, CA and all allied families, McEntire family of Polk and Rutherford Co NC and the James Crocker family of Spartanburg Co, SC;the Schmidt family from Kurhessen Germany; the Kick family from Darmstadt-Hessen, Germany and the Kidd family from Armagh Co, Northern Ireland. Many of my Kick family members have been in New Olreans, LA since the late 1700s. My Heavin ancestors are from Belfast,Northern Ireland. I am working on a SMITH family manuscript and will be glad ot exchange family info with others who may be related to us! And we woudl LOVE to have you send us your old family photos for other family members to enjoy!
