Old Family Photo Scan Strut

DOR

Years ago my mom gave me a few boxes of family photos. Most range from the last 20-30 years, but some go back over 100 years. For my moms birthday I scanned about 300 and put them on a tablet I bought her as a gift.

I thought I'd share a few with the strut. Anyone else have some really old family photos?


This first one I was going to ask the strut for an ID (Since there are some folks on here with amazing knowledge in a wide range of topics).

This is my Grandfather near the end of the WWII (In either Germany or England). My Grandfather has never seen this photo until I showed him it a month back. Does anyone on the strut know what model motorcycle he's on?




This is my Grandmother.




Another Grandmother photo.




This is both of them being frisky.



Love the toy car in this photo.




My Great-Grandfather in the 1900's.




Great-Grandfather again.




This is family before they came to North America. Photo is late 1800's.



Thanks again for checking these out. Anyone with any info on the bike would be greatly appreciated.

Yes! I love this, and was just recently thinking about this. I have a great uncle that was (and still is) really into photography and saved everything..

It's not screepy because he's married.

Awesome! Many thanks Delay & Rock on the subject.

These photos are great. Thx for posting Elise, Edith, Crashcourse.

Saba, why did you take your pic down? It was a good photo.

Edith, your sisters seem to have the handbag game on lock!



And thank you for your input to staxwax. Your family is just as I would have imagined.

I like 50's Grandma's house and furniture. Is that a paint brush. I bet she read Henry Miller. Scandalous.

Wicked photo. That pic could be from today taken with instagram or something!

And Tarantino does rip everything off!

My grandfather is the taller boy on the right.

some my wife scanned of her family in the early 1900's in El Paso, TX.







and these weren't family members but were in one of the photo albums

this. and the shadow of the head with hat at the bottom. a nice contrasty shot though for an old picture. i miss black and white photography. The fact that the sky has some texture to it, and didn't just wash out white in the print.
