W/NW old family pictures

Awesome thread! Here are my parents approx. 1 and a half years before they were married in the summer of 1964. Still (thankfully) both around, and I will be seeing them on Christmas Eve.
 
Probably my grandmother's mother and if so it cannot be much later than about 1910. The cupboard is still in the family.

Possibly my great great grandparents, or maybe one level above that. Around about the turn of the 20th century at a guess.

A wedding in the French Alps in 1914. In the left bottom corner there are my great-grand-father and mother.

I was assembling document for genealogical research.
It was a blessing to find on the reverse side annotation about much of these people.

So never forget it : on the back of all this kind of picture, use a bold pencil (or felt tip for smooth surface) and write all information you know (date, place, names, circumstance).
It can be usefull even for yourself.
 
Around 1914, my great-grand-father, with his wife and 5 of their 9 children.
The young boy on the right (12 years) is the father of my father.
The young man with tie above his mother is just 19 years old and has a bit more than 2 years left : "mort pour la France" with many others in Somme battle of 1916.

My older brother Steve, in the doorway...this would have been around 1961 or 1962...he would have been 4 or 5.
I found the negative last week and printed it yesterday...I've only seen this printed in the set you get from the processor...you know the booklet type of photos...
I thought it sad that it was never printed...it's a very nice 6x6 neg but with no markings as to the film type...not sure who took it as my dad's camera wasn't this sharp plus it has a flash...
I find the candy cigarettes really date this photo...Marlboro's were my brothers choice of smokes later in life...
