A Peek into the Past…

Just the other day, my mom picked up some frames for some family wedding photos we have.  The following you will see are four generations of weddings from my mom’s side, starting with my great, great grandparents and leading up to my own parents…

 Above are my great, great grandparents, Constantine and Justina.  Married October 22, 1913.  My great, great grandfather came over from Greece in 1901.  They went on to have children, of which included my great grandma, Barbara… (see below)

 

Above are my great grandparents, Robert and Barbara with their wedding party - married in 1946.   They went on to have children, one of which is my grandma Sharon… (see below).

 Here are my grandma and grandpa, Sharon and Philip – married on April 16, 1966.  They had three children which included my mom… (see below)

This is my mom and dad’s wedding on October 21, 1989.

Looking at these photos has certainly sparked an interest into our family history.  :)

  7. Looking through old pictures is one of my favorite pass times. Thank you for stopping by my blog the other day. You’re writing is beyond your years. What was that someone told me… oh, an old soul trapped in a young body. ~hehe~ I’ll be back. Very interesting! Have a wonderful weekend, and don’t forget our favorite saying! “Oh Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough”.

    Many Blessings, Dolly

  8. Thanks for sharing your family history! I am a history freak and a people person and I love learning about peoples’ history! Josh and I would like to find out more about our families’ history, especially on Dad’s side as Grandad L. has done some research on that side and has whet our appetite!

  9. Wow! How neat that you have those pictures for so far back! It is also amazing that your family came from Greece. What a neat family heritage!
