Family Tree by grammyn

Family Tree

This photo of my grandmother's family was originally taken over 100 years ago. My sister gave me this copy which shows, from left to right, my great-grandfather Will, my great-uncle Floyd, my grandmother Ila, my great-grandmother Bertha, and in the front my great-uncle Elvert. This photo of my mother's mother shows on the wall in my photo from yesterday. http://365project.org/grammyn/365/2012-01-02
Old for sure

I love those WIDE black bows they wore at the back of their heads. We have photos like this in our family....My grandmother was born around the turn of that century so would this would have been taken about the same time as the ones we have. Don't you just LOVE old family photos?

@debsphotos It is a treasure to see my grandmother as a child.

@nyusha I cherish it and hope my children will someday too!

@espyetta When I stop and really think about it I am amazed it has been so long. I miss her.

@grammyn I miss my grandmother too...she lived to 103 and a half, so she has not really been gone "that long." But I miss her.

I just love those old photos......

Oh, the memories! This is nice, but I think if you had zoomed in a bit more so there was less wall it might have put more emphasis on the photo in the photo. Just MHO... :)

@ruthmouch Thanks,Ruth!

Thanks. It didn't show quite that much wall in my viewfinder. You are absolutely right!

I don't have a family picture that goes that far back..only about 75 years.
It's nice to have one and have it on display. I like the framing of yours.

@ladybug71012 Thanks, Ladybug. I know it is a treasure. I hope it will be to my children someday too but it will be less likely because my grandmother died before some of them were even born.

Oh! I love old pictures! I have a special picture hanging on my wall too -I may have to include it in my 365 project. Great idea!
