An Assortment of Macks

Due largely to the generosity of wonderful folks out there who post pictures of their relatives online - wait - they are our relatives too! - I am pleased to show you:

 in 1925, Everett or Melrose, MA. Norman is the son of Jessie Mack,

and just for giggles, because she isn't directly related,

Lucy Mack Smith

daughter of Solomon and Lydia (Gates) Mack, from Gilsum, NH;

older brother of our Samuel Mack. Lucy married Joseph Smith, 

son of Aseal and Mary Smith of  Topsham, MA. 

Lucy eventually gave birth to Joseph Smith the Mormon Prophet.

It's kind of wild when you think about it... I was born in Connecticut and have ended up living in New Hampshire, not too far from Gilsum. Strange, huh?
