Mom was about 9. Her brothers are twins...

Dad's FamilyTaken in the Netherlands around 1943 I'd say. About 8 years before his family moved to Canada...
Dad is the little guy.
Myra, how blessed you are to have these family photos (treasures)! I have enjoyed looking at them. Winona
ReplyDeleteCheck out the giant hair-bows. I don't remember it being a style and I don't think I've seen them in any of my Mom's old pictures. Your Mom has a ginormous one in her hair. Maybe it's a style from the Netherlands! Anyway they are great pictures to have.
ReplyDeleteI like the big hair bows! Why did they decide to move to Canada? A lot of Dutch people came to Carman at about the same time.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they were all thinking. Obviously they didn't know they were re-locating to our wonderful country.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at old pics, they are priceless!
ReplyDeleteHi Myra! I love these photos. My mom told me about your blog. Wow! Have you ever been busy.
ReplyDeleteOh, Myra, I'm so glad that you posted these pictures. I haven't seen the first one in YEARS and don't think that I ever saw your dad's family picture. I didn't recognize your dad but would have figured it by elimination. I do remember your grandpa but not your grandma very well.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing old photos like this. You are lucky to have them....I hardly have any old family photos and wish I did. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteAre both your mom and dad from the Netherlands? Did the families know each other before the moved to Canada?
