Hello guys, I was watching yesterday the family pictures of my Jewish friends. Their great grandmother was wearing the kerchief just like my grandmother. I just thought, that it is so nice to keep the family pictures. I scanned as many pictures as I could and I keep it all on my computer. I am going to post more. For now, let me show my mother's pictures, which are updated with a couple of new ones. Please check it here: jaga.netfirms.com/mama1.htmland this one here: jaga.netfirms.com/family/familys.jpgI am going to post the new ones tomorrow. What about some of the old pictures of your family. Could you share it with us?

Here is a picture of my grandmother and my grandfather with their first newborn (ciocia Jadzia). It has to be around 1912. My mother was the youngest, so she was born 18 years later

Your family photos are so very precious! Your mother was a cutie, this for sure!!!
I was thinking. I know your family is at least part, from the area of Silesia. Are there of Turkisch in your family history?

Jaga, I've scanned thousands of old photos of my family in the last two years and it's something I really enjoy. Here's one of my Great, Great Grandparents Robert and Bertha Seiffert in front of the Breslau Post Office in Wrocław, Silesia. The photo was taken somewhere around 1890. Robert was the Postmaster in Breslau from about 1880 to 1895.

Tex, this is really a wonderful photo. I wish I could see your great great grandparents with a bit better magnification. In that time Breslau was completely German, so I guess, you do have some German blood in your veins. Did they immigrate to the US? They seem to be happy over there at the Post Office

Jaga, I was trying to keep it a secret, but yes I do have German blood in me. I even have some Russian and Romanian blood flowing through my veins. I don't have any photos of my Polish grandparents when they were in Poland. They left Poland in the early 1870's and came to Texas. They were poor dirt farmers and probably didn't have much money to spend on photographs. I do have some photos of them in Texas, but most of them are from the early 1900's. Here's a closeup of Robert and Bertha from the Silesian post office photo.

The closeup is really fantastic! It is so good that our ancestors had some patience and money to do the photographs sometimes.
This is a couple right? The woman looks younger than a man, but I guess, this was a norm in that old times...

Put the address of your photo inside and post.[/quote] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I don't have a photobucket account, but I do have a myspace address...which is www.myspace.com/fizzyintxclick on "My Pics" under my giraffe box ;D and view my photos. My great grandparents are listed as photos 13 & 14. Unfortunately myspace only allows so many words in the caption. My great Grandfather-Frank(z) Natonek was a harness and leather maker in NY, NY when they settled over here. My great grandmother, Malvina bore 2 children. Both Frank(z) and Malvina were married in Kiev, Russia in 1902 before they arrived in the states. I hope this works...thank you for the help Joyce

I would think it is better to have a photobucket account. www.photobucket.comit only takes about 5 minutes to st up an account which is free In order to view your pictures you have to be a member of myspace so they aren't viewable to anyone

Care not the matter of your location as of {who you are} for we had not the choice to what we are or our birth. For you are {Tex} and that is the most important centre of the universe, for this is YOU! If any one person has reason of objection, then there is a proper location for that person, and it is not here! Thank you for sharing.. Charles
