On February 5, 2000, I received the following e-mail:
"Hi, my family goes back to Fairfield county (which I know little about)
I have some old Conn.. pictures I would like to share . . .
One is a photo of the 100 year anniversary of Westport,
another is of a "Congregational Church with a date of 1897, plus others.
Any suggestions? I have them scanned in and saved as jpg files. . .
I have a large family photo taken in mid 1800's of
'Jennings, Hull, and Alvord' families with what looks like a church in the
background, the picture has a list of names from left to right. Suggestions?"
Thanks, Celeste Stevens.

Says Celeste, "My grandmother has some old items mentioning it."

Celeste titled this photo, "100 year Westport Reunion."
She doesn't know the identity of these people.
