They both look so happy in that photograph. :). This might be a good avatar idea...photos of ancestors...what do you think?
Ooh, that sounds great! I have about 5 old family photos around, my favorite part was trying to find frames that match the "feel" of the photo for me!

I did that too with some photos from the early 1800s. Fun to find the right one!

My maternal grandma and grandpa on their wedding day. My grandma was born in 1886! She was 48 when she had my mom! My mom and aunt holding their dollies. My mom on a pony. My mom, my uncle Paul, my aunt Elma, and my uncle Wes (who is 97!). Car pic: my grandma on left, the wife of my uncle, my mom, my aunt. The two children: my paternal grandma and her brother. That brother with the slick swoosh in his hair. Other guy is my grandpa.

Micky, my mom told me that back "then", photographers would walk around neighborhoods with the pony and ask if people wanted a picture! Here is an ironic thing... At his preschool, my youngest son had this picture taken!

I love all your pictures, Carolyn, and your mum was a stunner! :D Such beautiful women, Micky! And is it me, or do they look just slightly mischievous? Lol! GC: EyeC999 Level 96
I agree, I must get that from them! Lol . I loved the stories they would tell about switching places in school and my favorites were the ones where they would go on dates as the other sister!!!

Well, since I'm in the middle of packing, I couldn't find much in the way of ancestral photos, except a few of my dad and my grandparents, so here they are: My handsome dad when he was a young man: <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=55791"/> <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=55792"/> My grandparents on their wedding day. I don't know who the other folks are...My lovely nan wasn't much of a looker, but my grandad looks very pleased with himself! Lol! Must've sampled her amazing cooking already... <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=55793"/> My nan and grandad asleep on a park bench in the sunshine, lol! I love this one!!! <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=55794"/> My nan as a very young woman (maybe 14?). Sorry about the flash... <img src="http://www.ipadforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=55795"/> GC: EyeC999 Level 96

How adorable!!!! GC iluvbree lvl 121 I don't accept random FR's
The cutest thing is that my little "W" loves his "Curly" so much. They have this special connection...she watched me give birth to him. So nice! :). And they both had their pic taken on a pony!!! :). Cute cute!
 
Oh, I forgot to mention that my maternal grandmother's parents immigrated from Prussia although they were German. They landed in Kansas after Ellis Island. Kansas was the "hot spot" for Mennonites. Mennonites were similar to the Amish. My mom has the "Sunday outfit" my grandma wore to church. A black bonnet, a black half cape, and a black dress. I used to play dress up with the ensemble. They rode in horse and buggy to church. The women and children sat in one half of the church and the men sat in the other half. Interesting stuff :)
 
Love the pics, will be here in the morning with mine.
