My Ancestors

I love old family photographs, this one is from my father's side of the family. I have this photograph sitting in a guest room and since this photograph was taken on a Sunday, decided I would share this one with you today. I cherish this photograph.

My Great- Grandparents are the two on the left ~

Easter Sunday

    What a treasure, Nancy! You have every right to be proud of this photo. You know how I feel about family history. Hope you get on Ancestry.com some day. Time to interview your mom too.

    "On My Goodness" this is the BEST PHOTO EVER!!! I wish my family would have organized a picture like this. I bet most families don't have such a picture especially all in one... AND WHO are the "Wee Ones"???
    "Priceless"!!!
    Hugs,

    What a delightful old photo - the clothes, the hairstyles and the expressions on the faces - from the apprehension of the great-greats, to the half smiles of the greats to the more relaxed look of the next generation. It's a treasure!

    How lucky you are to have family photographs from previous generations! This is one blog that I visit often that sometimes posts photos and some of the best stories about her relatives. I love reading the stories and imagining the lives they led.

    I love old photos too. I wanted to ask you if you knew why people usually had serious faces in old photos. Were their teeth bad (lol) or was there some other reason for non-smiling. Let me know if you know!

    This is such a special photograph! So many precious ancestors on a special Easter Sunday. I have so few photos of our grandparents and none of some of our great-grandparents.

    Oh Nancy! What a wonderful old photo! My aunt has made it her job to copy and distribute old family photos among the members of my family and they are indeed treasures! Do you suppose we'll all look so old fashioned one day to the great-great-great grandchildren? lol Have a great weekend...hugs...Debbie
