The image depicts portraits of family members going back several generations and forward a generation. They may be of different nationalities, come from many places, but they are all part of my family.
I find it incredible to be able to look through many of the old photos and see family members from the past, members that I have not physically met. A real treasure trove.

They were stored away in a box for a long time and then we started to go through them. It is fascinating. There are letters sent home in the first world war, many photographs and it is just fascinating.

Love these old pictures! I’m fortunate to have a few myself of my paternal grandparents and great grandparents but nothing of my maternal grandparents –that grandmother died when my mother was 7 and my grandfather when she was 15. They were poor and if there were any pictures ever taken of them I am not aware of them. Very sad really. You are very blessed to have such a treasure!

Great collection of family photos, MM.
We can read all about our family and the past generations, but to me, it’s the photos that give me the best insight into the past – the clothes, the hairstyle, the facial expressions…. reveal all.

Good luck with that, we managed to get back to the beginning of the 18th Century (i.e. 1700 odd) 😃💚

I so love looking at old photos of family members – especially when I’d go through them with my grandmother. She would have stories to tell of each and every one. I will always regret not having taken notes when I had a chance…

Unfortunately I knew little of my own grandparents, just having memories of the one who was still around by the time I grew out of nappies. But yes, I love the old photos.

I was lucky enough to have my maternal grand-mother until 2009. She was 93 and up until six months before, was in fine form. We weren’t that close to my paternal grandmother but she passed when I was in my late teens. Neither side had a grandfather for me.

Until a few months ago my wife had two grand parents both alive at 95, now it is just the Maternal Grandmother left

She is, but gradually getting better – they were married 67 years and feature in the twin photo towards the left.
