[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 108975, member: 878"]This picture answers some of my questions. Or at least allows an educated guess. My parents were married June 26, 1918. No children until 1922. I never knew my father was a soldier in WW1 until I found a picture, under a bureau drawer lining, of him in uniform. That find was 1985+-. The picture with the gentleman and lady has FINALLY been ID'd. That's my mother and her father. Never before had any pics near that time-frame. Which IDs the four souls in the next pic. Left to right ma mère, grand-mère, grand-père et ma tante. Now, guessing that the car dates to about the mid 1910s, I'm going to conclude that my mother lived with her parents until my father was discharged and returned home. The picture of the house also helped a lot. It says "the old home." Based on the 1930ish car I'm going to conclude that it was a snapshot in a drive-by WAY after they moved out. My understanding was that the farm and land was sold about 1870 and proceeds invested into apartment buildings in the city. ~[ATTACH=full]27446[/ATTACH] ~[ATTACH=full]27447[/ATTACH]~[ATTACH=full]27448[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
