Old Family Photos

I had some old family pictures that I wanted to share. Actually, I got a call from my Aunt Taria wondering Where in the helk the pictures came from? after I had posted one on FB. So, I thought I'd share all that I had on the Blog so that all of my family could see them.

A while ago I had been working on some Geneology, and asked my Grandma Shawcroft for some specific photos of my mom. She gave me an envelope marked Important Pictures and told me that the photos came from my Great Grandma Gert.
I wrote the caption under each picture exactly as it is written on the back of the photo.

These pictures below were the actual photos I needed when I asked my Grandma Shawcroft for some pictures of my own mother as a young girl. Like I said, My Grandma gave me an envelope and it had all of the photos I've posted. These ones below are my favorite of my own mother because it shows so many cute lil personalities of my mom. THese photos below were in a seperate little folder and had nothing written on the back of each photo so I wrote my own caption in red.


I love this picture (which is the one I posted on FB)
