OLD FAMILY PHOTOS

Today I am sharing old photos that hubby recently acquired of aunts and uncles from another time.  With thanks to our family and friends who share them, we are accumulating many of these wonderful treasures.









I think I have shared the one above previously but as it was part of the group I didn't want to leave it out.  I hope you've enjoyed these old photos.  

We are having some quiet time  and I will be catching up on visiting blogs over the next couple of days.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend.



(If anyone would like the tag above with your name on it, let me know via e-mail - luvinwildlife@gmail.com - with "Penny Farthing" in the subject line and I will make you one.  A small thank for visiting, and a gift from me to you.)

  9. These are truly wonderful! They should be treasured and treated carefully. And the quality is still so good. Do you know why people rarely smiled in these old photos? Because back then, it took so long to hold a pose and get the camera to capture the scene, that most people could not hold a smile for that long.

  10. Hi Denise,
    How wonderful to acquire these old photo's, they are a real treasure.
    So good to see the clothing worn, and the last image with the children in ascending heights, they were always taken in the same format.
    All the best, John

  12. Old photos are such treasures, Denise. Those you shared are amazing and look to be quite old. The dress, the hair, and the smiles are priceless. I hope you know who each of them are. I have some from my parents and have no idea who some of them are. That's a shame! Lovely photos. Have a great weekend. ♥

    1. Thank you Martha Ellen and you are very welcome. We have been given their identities and also Gregg has a cousin's group on Facebook where he shares any old photos. He is always very grateful for the additional information his family provides.

  13. Beautiful old photos! Black and white holds up so well.

  14. The old black and whites do hold up incredibly well, especially when compared to the more recent printed photos that fade and discolor easily. It used to be that getting your picture taken was an "experience" ... there was artistry involved because each scene was precious. This heritage post makes that wonderfully apparent.

    1. Hi Rose, me too. I hope someone finds and sends you your family photos one day. We are amazed at what we are turning up. A family friend once told us years ago, he was very much into his own genealogy search, that once we started it would become addictive. He also said it was like becoming a detective searching these little bits of information out. He was right.
