I helped my dad clear out his house and carted home a treasure trove of family albums. I've got pics going back way into the 19th century. So cool! I can put faces to me greatgrandparents now, and seeing these women with their grave faces, some of them still in local costume....
Grandmother and her family
My grandmother Neeltje Kooij, her father Maarten Kooij and her mother Vrouwtje Strijbis, and her grandmother Opoe Tjallewal(?)
Check out the gold and lace headdress on my great-great grandmother!
I really want to do something with this treasure trove, but I haven't decided what. Probably preserve those photos, maybe make a famiiy tree, however trite. I would like to think of something cooler to do with it.....
Ideas?
ETA: Is the pic visible now?
