Very precious family memories, and I think the photograph was an artist !

very beautiful!!
Great photo's, love them all!
But I am partial to photo #4 of your grandmother, a very beautiful lady!
So beautiful ! Thanks for sharing them :-)
Thank you for your so kind comments Sean, Walksoftly and Mani I love you too!
I'm Grrr about pictures on the side... Before sending the post, they were ok!
Any hint about that?
CW seems reluctant to fix the problem that arises from people using mobile devices to post their images. They need to get with the program, not everyone uses a desktop anymore (there are fewer of us each day).
Hi Phil! What do you mean by blue cast?
I photographed the old pics with my phone :-/
I'll try to scan them when I get my new scanner/printer, and repost from my pc!
Walksoftly, will repost as you said, thank you :-)
Beautiful family.
Phil, I tried to Email you at the address on your profile, but had an undelivered mail message "Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable". Did you change it?
DrFluffy, thank you for your so kind comment!
Thanks Vladimir and austro for your loves :-)
Lovely photos kyra! You have great DNA going for you here ;)
Great family portraits. I see the resemblance in you to your mother.
"the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
Shareurpassion, many thanks for the DNA compliment ;-))
Bootson many many thanks too! (It seems the apple had cranial trauma when falled :-P )
Well it's nice to meet another member of the club! :-P
Few of us make it this far without a little trauma.
Lol! So, we're at least two !;-D
Your family is so chic!
Thank you BelleEpoque! They had very hard time as childs, coming from poor families with lots of children in the East of France.
My grand-father settled in Indochina at beginning of 20th and he became very wealthy as Citroen representant.
Wow, what a story!
I love genealogy, old family pictures and everything French. Wonderful photos! Beautiful people!
Vintagelamp, your visit and comment is much appreciated! Thank you :-)
Thanks kyratango for shareing your family memories. It sounds like my own grandgrand parents. Beatiful the pictures also sure the photographer was an artist. There is a very nice film, Argentinend French a, La camara oscura, that probably you will enjoy http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_c%C3%A1mara_oscura_%28pel%C3%ADcula%29
Synopsis et détails
Dans une colonie d'immigrants juifs d'Entre Rios, en Argentine, à la fin du 19e siècle, le film raconte l'histoire de Gertrudis. Sa famille l'a toujours trouvée laide, qu'elle soit bébé, petite fille ou adolescente. Devenue femme, les gens du village s'accordent aussi à la trouver décidemment laide. C'est seulement quelques années plus tard, mariée et mère de famille, qu'elle sera vue autrement par un photographe français, artiste surréaliste, qui gagne sa vie en faisant des portraits de famille. Il va être le seul à découvrir, avec un autre regard, la beauté particulière de cette femme, la richesse et la créativité de son monde intérieur. A travers son "regard", Gertrudis commencera à "se voir".

Thank you kivatinitz for your comment and the links, very interesting story!
Paris, smaack!
Your family is aristocratic and so very genteel and fine. Mine were a little rough around the edges..but hey (1) they were all good looking "sparklers". Cut ups and clowns. All we did was LAUGH!
Thanks PCC! They were not at all aristocratic (she did sewing and he was mecanician), but made themselves evoluate by moving to Indochina at the beginning of 20th and becoming rich and influent, beeing the biggest car seller in whole the area!
Laugh was too in the family, my grand-father had a vietnamese pig pet, and was sued for letting him wander in the street!
Ah Ha! Good for grandpa!! Really tho, your "people" really look so beautiful. They are delightful to look at. The have perfect features. Do you look like any of them?
PCC, Indeed! I'm all from my mother :-)
Last pic here Ô..ô
