Are you a Marinelli? Searching for family of Irvine Marinelli
Hi all,
May name is Laura Ekengren from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I have been working on my family history, picking up where my aunts and grandmother left off several years ago. I have inherited a few photo albums of the Marinelli family of Iowa (Ottumwa, Eddyville, Kirkville?) from the late 1800's. Fascinating photos. A family cousin (last name Lee) married Irvine Marinelli. The family name on my side was Hirst & Lee (Robert Hirst, Hazel Hirst). The Hirst family farm was in Eddyville and I have info referencing Hazel Hirst still being their in 1970 (passed away 1986). I would love to pass these photos on to the correct Marinelli family, descendants of Irvine. Please email me lekengren62@gmail.com if you know of this family. Thank you for your assistance.
