I'd love to see the pictures. My grandfather Robert Schott (Julia Kenndy and Erwin Schott) was born in Tidoute. So the family was in that area for awhile for sure. I believe one of his uncles owned or ran the Olean Hotel at some point too. I've also heard Oil City and Smethport mentioned in family history. (and something about one of the men being run out of town (Smethport maybe) and told not to go back or he'd get arrested. He went back...that's all I know)
