I'm Tom Jolly

Howdy!

My interests are:

Game designing, puzzles, physics, and geneology (primarily of the Jolly/Kelley/Carr/Snyder lineage). GENEALOGY To see some Red Oak, Ohio gravestones, go here. Alexander Jolly is buried here (born 1764). I bought an old photo album with quite a few related families in it, and the album was dated 1867. I've scanned in all the photos, which I've presented here. If you see a photo you wish to download, right-click on it and do a "save as" to create a file on your own computer. The downloaded photo quality will be much higher than what you see on your browser! You can see a listing of the whole Mariah Underwood photo album, with all the other names and families, here. To see the photos of the Burt family, to whom I'm not related at all, go here. There are photos of Benjamin and Nancy Burt here, with 4 of their children, late 1800's. The photos of the (related?) Underwood family, with William T. and Huldy Jane, are here. These are all circa 1870. Photos of the Minor family are shown here. Photos of the Hufford and Woodgate families are shown here. And, last of the album, the photos of the Howe, Pitts, Mitchell and Wiseman are here. If someone is related to this family, I'd be happy to sell them the album for what I paid for it. For a wee bit of info about Homer Merriam, and a picture of his first wife, Jane Weeks Merriam, click here. This was another photo I came across by accident. Not related to either of the prior groups. Here's something new; I came across an old photo from 1899 of Wayne and Jeannette somebody. All I know is a birthday and Knoxville; take a look here. to help solve the mystery!

If you'd like to see a few of the games I've designed, or helped design, there's DiskWars, G.O.O.T.M.U., and Knots.

You can visit my other site here until I get this one up and running!
