This photo was taken in about 1905. It shows my great-grandmother Cordelia Leduc seated with four of her children including my maternal grandmother Regina.

Hello Japeflakes,

Thank you very much for enhancing the photo of my great-grandmother and five of her children, including my maternal grandmother Regina on the right in the dark dress.
I note with gratitude that the faces are now more defined and clear and that my great-grandmother's skirt now exhibits texture that was formerly a blur.

A big improvement overall!

Hello RJ137,

Thank you very much for the three versions of my old photo from around 1903. It was a great idea to make a black and white copy besides the two sepias, The faces and other details are now more distinct and clear. The two youngest girls are much improved.

Love the barefooted younger children.  The dresses of the girls seem to have been made from the same pattern, though in differing materials.

Thank you very much for enhancing this photo. My great-grandmother was a  skilled seamstress, so I assume she made the 4 girls' clothing. I had not actually noticed the bare feet before. That's my maternal grandmother, the older girl on the right. She too liked to sew.
