Abstract
Silent home movies that feature the Finnegans’ travels, in possibly the Southwest of the United States. 

Description
This footage includes a trip by the Finnegans to possibly the Southwest United States in the 1930s. Images include views of the surroundings in possibly Arizona, New Mexico, or Colorado, alongside portrait shots of Native Americans. Mr. and Mrs. Finnegan are shown around rock ledges, cliffs, and caves by a young Native American male guide.

The Finnegans are shown playing golf in 1930s sportswear with an unidentified man and a younger woman, possibly the Finnegans' daughter, Mary.

Four people leave a home featuring address numerals 4726.  A woman is holding a large bouquet of flowers, with a man.  A 1933 four door Cadillac comes around the bend. A group of women mingle outside a home, and Mr. and Mrs. Finnegan meet with a man and woman in the same rural residential setting. Mr. Finnegan appears to be working on a project with a spade just outside of what may be a second home. Meanwhile, a white dog frolics about the yard.
