W/NW old family pictures

[f16sunshine]

A recent thread inspired this idea. Treasured old images you have scanned for and of family.

The year before I was born. My mom and pops with my newborn sister Laila. Spring 1967, Seattle Washington.

Andy,
Thank you for starting this thread. Excellent idea!

This image was taken around 1960 with Moskva camera and self timer in Western Ukraine. This is my grandfather, grandmother, my mother and her sister.

My dad was the only one looking into the lens
That's me in the Bow Tie. My Brother Mark is not here yet.

Andy, what a fun idea.

I'll contribute. This was the summer of 1958, me and my older brother with my Mom.

She passed away seven years ago this weekend. I still have her Brownie Reflex camera that this picture was taken with. Fun memories.

Best,
-Tim

Andy,
This is a fantastic family photo! Everyone is looking at photographer, and only your father - at camera. Excellent!!

During the second war but near the end. Our dear family friend and my early photography mentor Klaus. His grandson who is now the same age looks exactly like him today!

Somewhere in Germany

His sister I have never met.

More later

This is my a picture of my grandparents on my mothers side...I never met them as they died when my mother was about 14 years old...this was taken April 1928...going through my mothers stuff I came across this picture maybe a month ago...this was the first time I've seen a picture of her father...I returned this one to one of her sisters who was asking about them...

This is my brother in 1958 or 1959 he was just over one year old...he passed away October 2013...

This is my mother, she might have been about 20 years old here...I'm guessing this is about 1950, she passed July 2014...

I have no idea who this is, I found it with a bunch of other pictures my mother had...I'm keeping it because I find it beautiful...

One of my paternal side great grand fathers.
This was shot by Dad with his Vito B as well circa 1955
He was born in 1867 and died in 1958. I remember him from my very early years.

That's my great-great-great grandmother, though as she was a nurse for a big merchant's family we don't know whether the child is hers or not. It's an ambrotype in a pinchbeck frame (hence the dodgy edge, which was a paper mask to stop it scratching the scanner glass). Given the relatively short popularity of the ambrotype in the UK, and her likely age, this must date to some time in the early 1860s.

From a 4X5 glass plate negative from about 1910. Not sure who the gents are, but they are distant relatives.

Mackinaw, I love the low-budget studio!

Agreed. The hands holding back the backdrop make the picture!
