I always enjoy seeing those old pictures, there are so many memories in them.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

That's really cool and interesting......I wonder where this is taken? Where were you born?

My mother returned to Norway when I was 21 when my father died and took all the family photos with her......My youngest sister, who was 12 at the time went with her and is now the keeper of the family photos......She has no interest whatsoever in sending me copies, so I don't even have any photos of my parents.

Great old family photo, fantastic. I remember my granny always wore a cross over apron. I think most of the old ladies did in those days.

I must try and find some old photos to share. I will have to get one of the family to post them for me.

I love those old photos. There are some of my parents and grandparents when they were young. They were in an old suitcase my daughter took to her house without asking........ The aprons protected the dresses from getting stains from all the cooking, washing dishes and other dirty stuff the women had to handle. ---
I like wearing dresses...... Am I old-fashioned? LOL

I started looking at some old photos the other day and decided I really need to put them in an album instead of big plastic bags. I even moved from Indiana to Georgia with all those pictures and I mean A LOT OF PICTURES!

I am just not a scrapbook worker. I told my daughter she can sort them out if I go to the great beyond..... I even offered her the job of helping me put them in scrapbooks....she said, Mom, I just did one and said, never again.

Thanks ET, it's interesting looking at old photos; of families, their roots and lives lived.  It made me think of a novel I read some time ago about a cast of immigrants, of their arrival in the US in the 1890's and ending a century later; a button accordion (originally brought out by a Sicilian immigrant) and its ownership their connecting link. ('Accordion Crimes', author E. Annie Proulx). A reminder that America was built by immigrants.
