My grandmother, my uncle on the left, and my dad as a baby. The first time I saw this photo was nearly ten years after my grandmother’s passing. It’s one of my favorite photos of her. ~ shared by @caseymarieincalifornia

This is my Dad and his siblings with Santa, in the late 1950s. He’s the boy on the left and was the second of eventually ten total kids.
My Dad was the child of a first generation Sicilian immigrant and an English heritage Southerner from GA. This was taken somewhere in the Philadelphia region. From left Robert (Bobby my dad), Anna, Baby Mary, William, & Katherine (Kathy). Later five more were added to the brood. ~ shared by @lucindalunacy

Featured in this photo are my great grandparents: Nono and Nanna with their daughter, my great Aunt Vita. They’ve all passed now.
They were Sicilian immigrants, my Nono participated in the Italian army in WWII but we don’t know to what extent. My Nana, grandma and great aunt came to America by boat a few years after the war. Within the next few years they all became American citizens, my Nono was very proud of this achievement.
My great aunt died young, so I never was able to meet her, although, we talk about her often.
My Nono was my hero and best friend growing up. He had the most gorgeous garden and taught me so many things but was never able to teach me Sicilian, instead we would play a hand slapping game and we would go back and forth speaking phrases he taught me.
My Nana, his beautiful wife, was one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. She always went to church; welcomed anyone with open arms; and her cooking and baking were above the rest. She would get frustrated with Nonno and me, but it was always with love.
This photo was taken sometime in the 1960s, I believe my great aunt unfortunately passed away shortly after this. I would be born almost 30 years later, but this is one of my very cherished photos of my family…of the people who shaped and molded my entire family for years to come.
I feel like old photos are a part of a family’s collective soul. ~ shared by @milkglas

We have been reunited with an old family photo album, which we thought was lost when my Grandma died 25 years ago. I had never seen any of my Mum and Dad’s wedding photos, but this album has them.
31 years later, and my Mum and Dad are still going strong! ~shared by mrsdbrown82

This is my paternal Grandfather. He died when I was pretty young, so I don’t remember much about him, but my Mom says I’m a lot like him in several small ways: I can be annoyingly frugal, like he was; we both are incurably skinny-limbed; and I stand the same way he did, with my hands in my pockets and my toes pointed outward.
My Mom sent me this picture awhile back. “You remind me so much of him,” she said.
I’m glad he can live on in me, even if it is just in my goofy posture. ~shared by @loganmahan

My Mom assisting my grandpa on a photo shoot. My grandpa was a missionary and photographer in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia). My mom grew up tagging along with him on visits to villages. ~shared by @heyodavo

My beautiful Mother. Taken around 1952-53. I always wished we could’ve been the same age together. I loved her clothes, music, and easiness of her day. ~shared by @gina2u

My Mom and my Dad, Christmas 1975. They look truly happy together and that makes me really happy.
They divorced when I was 5, so I don’t really remember them being together and in love, so this is how I like to remember them. ~shared by @nottaylorsmith #savefamilyphotos #wewerehere #oldfamilyphotos #familyphotos #familyphoto #analog #foundphotos #pictapgo_app #parents #parent #vintagephotos #family #families #filmisnotdead
My grandma hanging laundry sometime in the 1950s. Look at all those kids’ pajamas. She eventually had 8 kids with 3 sets of twins! ~shared by @stay_at_home_girlfriend

My grandmother & my mother on the beach in North Carolina. I unearthed a thanksgiving treasure trove.
Reminds me of… “Ancient Kings” @brianandreas
My grandmother kept a box of old photos in her attic & we used to go up there on rainy days & sit on the floor in the dusty light & go through them & she would
tell about witches & broken
hearts & how we came from
royal blood & it was all there in the pictures, she said… #wewerehere #savefamilyphotos #familyphotos #familyphoto #analog #foundphotos #pictapgo_app #grandparents #grandmothers #grandmother #grandma #family #vintagephotos #filmisnotdead
