Family memories... Memórias de família...

  2. Sonia, how wonderful it is to have pictures of family memories especially of grandparents. I do not even have any pictures of my parents, nothing to show the future generation.

  4. Cara Sonia,
    belo documento!
    Achei muito interessante o pormenor da bandeira brasileira ao cimo, ainda que só visível parcialmente.
    E, como os tempos mudam: 46 crianças, de vários graus, para um só professor.
    Abraço

  5. Terrific photo! Really beautiful in both memory and aesthetics. My grandmother was a school teacher too. Starting in 1917 (at the age of 17) in a one room schoolhouse in Iowa. Wish I had a photo of her like you do of your grandfather.

  11. That's the best moustache I have seen for a long time! What a handsome man. Quite a lot of boys wearing a sailor suit. My father remembers wearing a sailor suit like that, but his was probably well used, as he had 3 older brothers who wore it before him.

  16. I've been missing a little lately Sonia dear, and I have a lot of catching up to do with reading and visiting blogs. I say again the quality of these old family photographs is just amazing, I think you said a family member was a photographer? How wonderful it is that you have these as a story of your family and history. Just wonderful my dear friend. I hope you and Carlos are well and of course dear Sofia and the doggies.
