Old, Family photos

Definitely NOT the thread I referred to, but far and away better! Thank you. I like especially the old cars! imp
 

Nothing's like old black and white photos. This is my mom in Eastern Oregon in 1939, 10 years before I was born. She looked pretty healthy and happy then. Jan2016various 027.jpgShe was working on a ranch in this photo. Later, during WW2 she went on to be a "Rosey The Riveter" She did welding, including under water welding in the ship yards at Portland Or. She was interesting lady.

I have photos of relatives in my collection dating back to the early days of photography in the mid 19th century. There is one of my great, great grandmother, which is really scary, I wouldn't have liked to have met her on a dark night!:D
 

....love all the old photos.

I can remember seeing a quilting frame like this at my grandmother's..

Very much enjoying seeing all the wonderful retro family photos. Love the black and white in particular.

I appreciate the kind words :)

Though 'posed', I find the retro black & white photos more to my liking than today's selfies. I finally got my eldest half-sister to share the old family photos. They're in amazingly good shape. My nephew scanned them and removed the little 'spots'. All siblings now have copies.

Beautiful wedding photo of your parents, Ken, and you look adorable.
Amazing family portrait, Capt., you're lucky to have it.

This is likely an Easter shot. My sisters and me. Guessing this is 1960.

In Honor Of Mother's Day.. This would be my mother as a 14 or 15 year old. She will be 93 in July, and is still just as lovely. This is a school photo and makes her look kinda Italian, and she really isn't. Her maiden name was McDade! I guess I better call her tomorrow.
 
Ameriscot - I think it's Scottish but the McDades were in Virginia by mid 1700's. That's as far back as the genealogy records one of my cousin was able to find. It was my mother's 3-great grandfather.

I don't know any McDades but in my very favourite Scottish comedy show one of the Glasgow characters is McDade.

I'm very intereseted in genealogy and have a lot of close and distant cousins who are as well. Lots of ancestors went through VA and NY. Some went to Michigan, some to TN and some to IL.
