Beautiful. They look like they would have been interesting to talk too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo! Remarkably well preserved. WAHHOOOOO!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting. I have this same picture reversed, did it happen in the scanning? Could there possibly have been two taken?
ReplyDeleteLovely photo - the outfits are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnna Pereksta --she came from the area that my husbands family was from. Some still there. His fathers name was John his Moms was Mary. From what I can remember the town was also Pislop. Spelling may be wrong. My husband was the "baby" of the family, he died in 1994. I still keep in touch with some of the relatives from Johnson City.
ReplyDeleteSarah, same pic. Too bad anonymous did not sign her name, we might have gotten some more info. Aunt Rose
