To those of you who are interested in HUDSON MA: I have some old photos probably the early 1920's of groups of people who are in Hudson MA. My Great uncle and his wife are in the pictures, but no other people are members of my family. I assume they are friends and relatives of his wife's family all from Santa Maria.
There is also a Hartford CT connection to these people. Let me know if you are interested in seeing them and I'll email them to you personally.
