Okay, That's Weird
Mar. 16th, 2006 04:10 pm-I have a ziplock bag full of old family photos, some of them close to a century old. I spent part of today moving them into an album, and labeling them when I recognized anyone.
-So, over here we have what is actually a postcard, dated 1910, from an ACS to Roy Sandman. "Sandman" is my father's mother's maiden name, so this is clearly from that side of the family.
-Over here we have a picture of my father's stepfather, with what could be his brother and parents, from sometime around the late 30s. It's right next to a picture of what appear to be the same four people, judging by the faces, but a couple decades younger. This second one is also a postcard, with no writing on the back. Regardless, it's from my father's stepfather's side of the family.
-The two postcards are the exact same brand, near as I can tell. But, my father's mother and stepfather didn't get married until the late 40s, and surely their families weren't sharing postcards in the 10s and 20s. I guess whatever service they used to get family photos printed up as postcards was fairly popular and widespread.
