This is a bit of a teaser. I am scanning the identified pictures in the albums I inherited from Newport. One album has ancestors (relatives of my great grandparents), but a later album (late 1800's) seems to have contemporaries of my great grandparents. I have no idea who these people might be. When I add the pictures to the Newport County RIGenWeb web pages I would like to have some additional information, if possible. One set of pictures if for Alfred Smith, Mrs. Alfred Smith (also identified as Ann Maria Smith), Hattie Fisher Smith Brownel [sic], and Bert Smith (young boy). The pictures were taken in Newport. The only clear match I found in a search is from the Newport Mercury, May 20, 1882 at http://www.rootsweb.com/~rinewpor/mercury1882.html "Mr. Alfred Smith is building a fine residence on Broadway, Providence, for his daughter, Mrs. Seth H. Brownell." I did find an Alfred Smith listed as a real estate broker, and other references, but there is no way to connect the name to these pictures. Is this family yours?
