Vintage Photo Album REDnesday & VTT

This week I'm sharing the same entry with both REDnesday and Vintage Thingie Thursday. Hope you will join in the fun!

I am sharing a (red!) vintage photo album this Rednesday and Vintage Thingie Thursday. It is from my mother's side of the family. It has a charming inscription and some photos have names and dates. I'm hoping to solve all the mysteries contained inside.

This is the inscription inside. It reads:
Grand Ma Smith's
Giving her daughter
to her great granddaughter
(then my grandmother's name)
(I didn't white out the original, that's a scanned copy)

I am guessing/hoping that this is Grand Ma Smith???
I am so very lost. I have a genealogy but I think Grand
Ma Smith is an off shoot that's not included . WAH!
Fingers crossed that the boxes of things I brought home
from my parents will reveal everyone's identities!
I am posting the photos in the order they
were in the photo album.

The following two portraits appear to be
photos of the couple above in later years.

The two baby photos are pictures of my
grandmother's Aunt Luella at 8 months old.

My grandmother's father, Robert.
(My grandmother is pictured in my
banner on the far left hand side.)

My grandmother's father, Robert and
his sister, Luella in 1874 or 1875.

and his sister, Luella.

Aunt Luella.

There are first names for this lovely group,
but I don't know who they are related to???
The young lady on the right, seems to have
a family resemblance to my grandmother.
I wonder if it could be her mother???
Oh! This is so much fun!

Happy Rednesday and Vintage Thingie Thursday Everyone!
