Family History

Interesting pictures, and your mother was a very pretty little girl.

Yeah... they are a bit different. The sixties/fifties in the East!!

All of these old photos are really great. Just think of the really interesting stories behind the photo.

I love these photos! Keep posting new photos. I love these oldies. Anyone else have more?!?!?

Mum and her brother...


My mum, granma, uncle, and grandad

Here's one I have I think of my dad when he was little, and his mom and grandma.

that is so neat!! I don't have any really old pics

Gee that is so sad that you don't have any old photos. I wish I had a scanner so I could get more on here. The ones Iposted were retouched to fix the damage they had from age.

Those are really cool pictures! And your grandmother was a doll! She has that little mischievious twinkle in her eye.

I wish I had the pictures of my mom in the hula skirt! She was 3 or 4 at the time. What a cutie she was then!

Great Pictures everybody!!!!!! . I adore looking at the past < I don't have any of my own photos to share, but I have heaps and I'll scan them one day!

Thanks for sharing, I'd love to see more

My great-grandfather John (Dad's father's father). Yes, that's a boy!

O'Keefe family portrait (the young man standing in the back is the little boy in the previous photo)

The woman in the second row in the flowered dress is John's wife Florence (my great-grandmother). The little boy in front (NOT sticking out his tongue) is my grandfather Edward. The man on the left in the front row, wearing a hat, is my gread-great grandfather.

Once again, the little boy in front is my grandfather. Check out the socks!

First, this is my mom and my grandparents, circa about 1936 or so....



This is my dad when he was in Korea, circa early 1950s. The interesting thing about this picture is that it was taken by a fellow in my dad's company. He never saw the picture until he retired to Florida in about 1998. The man lived in the same retirement community as my dad, and they reunited. The man gave my dad this picture that he had held onto all those years!



This final shot is from June, 1965. It was taken aboard the Queen Elizabeth, which was about to set sail for Great Britain. My grandparents were going for their annual visit home, and we were seeing them off. That's my Nain (Welsh for 'grandmother') in the front with me. Behind are my parents, my sister, and my maternal grandmother. My Taid (grandfather) was taking the picture.

Wow what great photos! Ok all you guys that haven't posted yet, dig through those old pictures and share with the rest of us!

Here's the only old picture that I have, really. I have some of my parents from the 50s-60s at home.

This is an interesting photo, though. It is from 1942 or 1943, and is of my grandmother and my dad (wasn't he a cutie??). The reason it is so beat up is because it was the only photo that Grandpa had of his wife and his oldest (and only) son during his service in World War II. Dad didn't meet his father until he was 3 years old - Grandma was pregnant when Grandpa was sent off to war.

Wow, Heidi! That is one hell of a touching story. I love hearing about all of this family history stuff. It is so interesting.

Wow... Most of these pictures are older than my MUM!!! Cool!
Anymore?
