This is a 1956 family reunion photograph of my eldest great-aunts family.
Pictured seated in front holding two of her great grandchildren is the matriarch, my great grandmother. My great grandfather had passed 7 years prior. Standing directly behind is my great aunt Beatrice and her husband Alphonse (this would have also been their 35th wedding anniversary). They are surrounded by their children (of which were seven), and their spouses and children. (These are my second and third cousins). There are a total of seventeen of my great-grandmothers great-grandchildren shown here, and this is only family from one of her ten surviving children, her eldest daughter Beatrice. - Photograph taken in So. Hadley, Mass.
Wow agh! That was a mouthful, right?! Your great grandma had a whole brood going! I can't even imagine what that would have been like!
I think I can see a lot of resemblance there in the cheeks and smiles. Nice bit of history there!
I went to school with a Bobby Gagnon, but that's a large crew there...hard to keep track.
what a very beautiful family!!!
Love your photo!!
