William S Read pics.
The pics unlabeled are from Patrick Swift Read’s wedding. The last time our family was all together. It was most certainly a packed room!
I grew up in the midst of 50 or so first cousins dristributed between the families of my mother (Conlin) and father. Two of my mother's seven sisters became nuns the others married men named: Conlin women married men named Bennett, Crawford, Heintz, McCabe, and Walsh; my father's two sisters married men named Hall and Barry!
