I have acquired some photos of a Gilchrist family and wondered if you might add this email to your clearinghouse. The photos were taken in the area of Fitchburg, MA. They are of Walter F. Gilchrist, born about 1861 in MA, and his wife, Frances Hines. Also, their daughters, Greta and Serena (Rena). Others are Flora, Loren, who died at 18 yrs., and Claire Gilchrist. I would be glad to scan or make prints at my costs, for interested individuals.
I am told that my great grand father came from Carrie muir on the east coast of Scotland in the early 1800's and settled in Westerly Rhode Island, USA
