Today I received a very old photograph from my 86 year old Father which he had found in his `ditty box'
Miraculuously it has survived two world wars and umpteen removals to come safely to me from 1910.
The photograph, (which is older than my Father)!, shows almost all of the family My Great Grandfather, GGrandMother and eight of their 21 children.
I cannot stop looking at it, its a small miracle that I can actually see my ancesters and I feel really privaleged.
The odd thing is all of the older girls have distinctly similar faces broad cheekbones square chins and large well spaced eyes under distinctive eyebrows which run in the family. Apart from the clothes and hair I could be staring at myself.
Even stranger is the realization that when looking at the older girls I find myself looking at the sterotypical image of my ideal partner ??
