Oh, wow, amazing. Love the moodiness...
My childhood pictures with my father and mother carrying me.
Agnes-True, but you seem to able to focus more on the picture.
Ramana-The pictures of my parents holding me a baby are some of my most treasured pictures. It would be interesting to see some of yours.
Wow you really have some oldies. My mom has some older pics that I just love but none that old. I have scanned a lot of them for my mom's digital photo frame. She loves it!
My mom and sisters put together a scrapbook of family photos for me. Some of the pictures go back to around the 1880s. Mydistant relatives look like mean, ornery gun slingers but they were really nice people. That's just the way they looked back in the day.

My grandma just gave me a picture of her and her sister when they were in their teens. That one is very special and the only photo I have of my mom's dad (he died when she was 4) is also a treasured favorite.
That's great your scanning all of these images for your family!
São valiosos documentos que ficam para a posteridade e nos trazem belas recordações. Um tesouro.
Beijos,

wow that's beautiful collection. i have to oldest picture with me is some what related to 1950's.
love to see your pictures and effort to collecting them and preserving them.
:-)
Jules-My sister has a digital photo frame as well, and loves her's. The older generation took pictures of the past, most of the pictures taken today are of the children, rather than the parents and other relative adults. I love working with the old pictures.
Stephen-That is so wonderful of your mom and sisters to do that for you. You'll always treasure the scrapbook, and so will your kids one day.
Joey-Hang onto the picture, maybe one day it can be used in your family history. Do you know who in your family is the historian, maybe you could give them a copy.
Furtado- I hope this translates correctly..Então poucas pessoas compreendem como valiosos quadros são. Esse são uma maneiras de manter história vivo para as gerações de furture. Agradece tanto para seu discernimento e comentário.
Sheeza-Still for you 1950 is 60 years, pretty old. You can do the same and if you want, you could be your family historian.
