Hi, I am hoping someone out there can help me. I was given a picture of MACK family it has 18 people in it also a hand written (2 pages) note telling who the people are. (below) This was sent to Wilbur Lawrence Mack (unknown when) Bill has now passed on and his widow does not know anything about the picture. This is my first hint of our MACK's before they came to California. My brickwall for 9 years. Can anyone give me any ideas where to go from here?
