Multiple generations in photos
« on: Monday 22 December 08 14:55 GMT (UK) »
After a weekend of "rellie-bashing" (that's over for another Christmas, then!) I came across some photos of hubby with his Dad, Grandad and G-Grandad.

Having been lovingly restored by the "experts" at Rootschat I've attached one with this post - "four-in-a-row!"

Does anyone else have multiple generations in a single photo?

I've got a recent one of 4 generations but three of the people are living, so won't put it up - My Mum, my sister, my niece and my great nephew  :)

Nothing more than three in any of the older ones though - and again, some are still alive.

Look to your left :)

Great Uncle Frank, Great-Grandfather Charles, GG Grandfather Samuel, & GGG Grandfather Walter.  This photo would have been taken around 1911, as the baby (GU-Frank) is about a year old.

I have 4 generations on my OHs side and 3 on mine.

I love old photos, they make people you don't know more real and I love looking to see if there is any family resemblence.

I have a lovely photo with 4 generations in but I'm not sure who they are!

I know one is the wife of my gt-granma's oldest brother, and one is her daughter - I presume the oldest woman in the photo is her mother, and the baby is the grand-daughter.

I'm waiting for the 1911 census so I can put a name to the baby :)
