Old memories

Old memories... Not mine personally... Just old photographs of my grandparents.  100 years ago.  I guess I'm lucky to know who is who. So many things, or more accurately almost everything about the life of my grandparents is unknown. For that matter, not much is known about my parents before I was born. Old photos bring up hundreds of questions for which there are no answers.  Answers lost in time.  In reality,  just about everything about most people beyond two generations is lost to time.  And beyond the third generation... beyond Great grandparents... Nothing is know except for a name on a document, and maybe some of photos. 
So... If your parents,  grandparents, and if you're lucky, your great grandparents, are still alive... ask them about their life... less you will never know. 

Here's some old photos of family... 

Wow, what I don't know...

and never will.
