I don't know about anyone else...but I'm really enjoying looking at these old pics...they are all great, the differences in fashion & everything...they all tell their own story...really interesting!

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far

I love this photo of my Grandmother and her 11 children. Sadly they have all passed away....

This photo has my grandmother with her six daughters, taken in 1917, three years before my mother's birth.

This photo is of my ggrandfather (back row, top hat) some of his sons, and son's in law. Taken circa 1900. We think, but aren't sure that the elderly man on the back row is my gggrandfather.

I know it is supposed to be three or more people but I still think this one of my Great Grandfather Patrick Francis Cummins and his sister my Great Grand Aunt Anastasia Madeline Cummins (became Renshaw and had all those boys) is a good photo. Anastasia was only 5 foot high and ruled her family with an iron fist. She not only raised her 9 children but when her sister and her husband died she raised their 5 children as well. There is a very strong family resemblance even today with their descendants.

This is a picture of my Great Grandfather Samuel Slee born 1877 in Devon. He moved to Cardiff where this photo was taken at the works party. He is the one on the bottom row (first left) wearing the flat cap.
