    About 1959 I was with my family at the old family farm, and cousin and I were playing in the old farm kitchen,
    then a store room for old family belongings. I opened an old wooden trunk, and found old black and white photos, of an old time man, and lady. Family photos? I told Mom about them and she got permission to take them to have them restored. We went later to a large
    down town department store, and they told us the photos could be copied by their on-site artist. He made these color paintings, and
    we learned later that the photos were from the 1904 wedding of our relatives. The lady was still alive then.
    These are now a much loved link to our departed kin folk.

      Nice! If you haven't already done so, you should write their full names, birth and death dates what you know about the occasion pictured, etc., on the back. I see so many only drawings like this that have no history attached to them. In a few generations your family may have forgotten again who they were.... If you write on the backs of the pictures, themselves, be sure to lay them on a hard surface when doing so, so that an impression is not made in the picture.

      Thank you, kwqd.
      Yes, my late mother wrote a whole page of information about the bride, and groom...
      and stuck it behind of the little paintings. But I guess they are not so tiny, about
      8 1/2" X 11".
