I had an interesting experience with a snapshot of Maud Hays.  I did a lot of Family History, when we lived in Woodland Hills, CA. About 1984 I remember sitting down at my desk one weekday morning, determined to organize the piles of papers that were scattered there.  Piles of letters,pictures, etc.  Genie Morris, a distant cousin and expert HAYS FAMILY researcher had sent me a gift--a beautiful picture album gift. The album was also on the desk.  It held a treasure of pictures encased in deep blue velvet covers with several old Hays Family photos inside. There were a few loose snapshots, some of which were on the desk top. One of those, showed two women standing next to a tree. The woman on the right just mesmerized me for some reason.  I remember  where the picture layed--there on the right hand side of the desk pad.  I looked at it for a few moments and thought how much like my mother the one woman looked. And I said to myself, "She looks about 30 years old."  "28!" I heard, very clearly in my mind.  Then I turned the snapshot over and on the back was written "May 09".  That's all there was.  But it was enough.  From that I was able to determine that it was MAUDE, who was born Feb 1881 and who was 28 years old in 1909. MAUDE HAYS!
