There was a thread a while back where we shared old photos of our families and I really enjoyed it. Care to share some more?

The first photo I showed on that thread was my husband's grandparents, but I didn't have the second photo at that time - it was taken a few years later in front of their home in the back woods of New Brunswick with their two kids in tow. They would eventually have 13! (And I thought two was plenty).

The third photo is my husband's mom taken with her BFF in the 40s - and here I thought dressing a like was reserved for twins. Aren't they the cutest! Love the matching ties.

And then fast forward to the summer 1978. I really was "barefoot and pregnant". (And, no I wasn't stoned although I do look like it, don't I?).







 
I love family photos!

OMG!!!! Too funny - I got all goose bumpy! You're model looks so so sweet in it, Marie.


Ookoo - thanks for sharing those, they're awesome. Love the way it goes from it's all about the glasses in the 60s to all about the hair in 1980. So did your parents win the jackpot?
 
I've got lots of old photos but haven't scanned most of them yet. Here's one of me in my first prom dress - pink net, taken with my high school bf. It reminds me of the dress that Anne of Vintage Baubles showed this week, except hers is much prettier. I think this was taken in 1958:

Here I am on my 16th birthday. The dress is a camel and white knit large scale check. The shoes are Capezio's!:

Fast forward to either the Fall 1959 or early 1960- taken at a dance at the U. of Rochester. Bf was two years ahead in school:

More to share later.

Ahhhh, thanks for sharing those, Linn! You had such a great fashion sense early on. That first dress really does look like Anne's. Is that a corsage on your waist in the last photo?
 
Here are a few that I've found:

Oh, what wonderful photos! I have several of my parents, dating back a long, long time, but they're not scanned in. I'll have to see what I can do about that! And I have to find some of me in the late 60s & early 70s in my mod and hippie gear.....
 
Yes,

It's a bouquet on my wrist. Looks like an orchid although the locale was either Albany, N.Y. or Rochester. I think I was a junior in high school -pretty grown up dress!

I love all these photos. I'll have to scan in some older ones and some of my parents and grandparents.

Aloha,

Linn
 
I love this thread. Unfortunately I don't have a working scanner at the moment, so I only have this one photo on my computer of "Great Uncle Rufus." He was my father's uncle and I never met him, but his name was Rufus Palmer and my brother was named after him ("Palmer") and my son got the "Palmer" name as well. Had I been a boy, my name would have been "Rufus" so obviously he was held high by my family. (I have shared this photo before I think, sorry!)

He was a teacher and ended up as commissioner of education for Colorado. Somewhere out there, there is/was a public school named after him.

He never married. Perhaps he was gay as that "gene" certainly runs in my family.

I have this really old album I got from my grandmother, this is just a few of the pictures. The girl with the monkey is my grandma, and the two teenagers, one seated one standing behind her, are my great great aunts. I don't actually know who the rest are, but they're family, in some way. I wish I'd got to pick through their wardrobes!
 
Fabulous photos everyone!

Aha, on the wrist - makes sense, Linn. It would get in the way with dancing if it was on the waist.

Lizzie, from the photo of you and your dad it looks like you sure have your his eyes!

Great Uncle Rufus was certainly dapper!

GoldenAge - looks like Civil War, were they from the south?
 
Ok so here we go.... I have some somewhere, but these are the ones I stole from my late uncles web site lol.... Sorry so long but not often I get to dedicate something to a past loved one (My uncle died in 2005 of a heart attack and 3 weeks ago the other one died of heart attack 2 of the youngest in our whole family.... youngest left is my papa (dad)

FIRST ROW
#1 (left to right) My uncle and his 50s derby car. I don't know if you can tell but he cut himsef out of another photo from the 50s and placed it over this early 60s photo. Old school photoshop lol. So it is a 50s/60s pic

#2 My unlce is on the far right I believe and my father on the trike second from the left. This would have been aound 1954.

#3 A picture of my uncle's uncles late 50s -1960ish,,,, 2 are around hi age, one 1 yr younger the other 1 year older ( my grandma got married at 13 so she was had her 2 babys around the same time she had 2 new sibblings)
SECOND ROW

#1 uncle and his 1 toy for his birthday (very poor family, share croppers) 1950 or 51

#2 The Jarman Family, excluding my uncle He is a Brinson lol. But my grandma is on the far right with short black hair. This was right around 1960+-.

#3 My uncle and his fast back, perhaps a mustang? Early 60s

THIRD ROW
#1 The great debate whether it is my uncle or father on this beast of the day! Both lay claim to it,,,, but still late 1960s

#2 The Beginning of the Jarmans. Family photo while there were only 5 kids (8 more to go!) mr grandma is on the bottom left, she is about 8-9 making this photo late 30s possibly 1940?

#3 Not sure of date. My Great Great grandfather. He was a mean man so they say. pehaps 1920s? I know he died before the 40s so it has to be 30s or lower.
