Wonderful find

That's such a wonderful thing to find!
While preparing for a family reunion, (Descendants from gt grandparents who had 12 children)
A cousin produced a photograph taken at their diamond wedding in 1916 which I had never seen. There was my dad aged about 4 and looking quite like his gt grandson!
It's true about technology but we must keep our sense of awe.

rosecarmel I have a photo of her in the same school taken some years later so was able to pick her out instantly. It was lovely to see her smiling as I know she felt very insecure as a child growing up in near poverty - she won a scholarship to the school but her mum couldn't afford proper shoes for her so she had to wear boots which she hated

Sharing the picture with my elder son on WhatsApp started a long conversation about family resemblances which sometimes aren't apparent at the time. Looking at Mum so young I can definitely see myself in her face. Still can't get over the pure chance of finding the picture!

How wonderful ?‍❤️‍?

Awesome story in so many ways .. How did you know it was your mum? I've a class photo of my mum in 1st grade- And first time I saw that photo back when I was small I knew which child she was straight away- Her eyes, her expression, the shape of her face ..

Love this ?

Lovely story!

We found an old video of my friend was sadly died 10 years ago leaving 4 children and DH transferred it to a file that my daughter was able to email to her daughter - it was the first time this young woman had heard her mum’s voice in those 10 years. Technology can be a wonderful thing

How wonderful

How lovely, Willow. It must have been quite exciting as well as emotional, seeing it! Something to treasure. ?
