@All; this is truly amazing...thank you for such great response on this topic...and especially thanks to all who uploaded those outstanding old photos just for the forum...
The topic is still very young, but with your great contributions we already created a very very interesting sight to see....
I am fascinated with all those intersting baby prams (as some of you might already noticed ), and it is almost unbelivable how far in the past those dates of photos goes...

Two years ago I compiled photos my husband's family and those of my own family to digitize them and to create DVD.
It was a lovely work and now I can show them and approach us its costumes, toys, cars...
Thanks Lali for this beautiful topic

What a fantastic forum theme!
There are so many tremendous, evocative photos of families & Ray9's series above is outstanding quality too.
All I have to contribute is Lisbon's 16th century Torre de Belem and a caravela of that period setting off to discover Brazil or somewhere.

Lali Wonderful topic - an opportunity to turn the clock back. Here are two from my own family's album -
These are my parents, newly engaged, sitting on the promenade wall, Newcastle County Down ( my mother's home town ). [ Note my father's camera : he was a keen photographer ]
My parent's wedding party, including my maternal and paternal grandparents and various uncles and aunts. They were married in 1938.
Sadly, there is no-one in these pictures still alive. All I have are rapidly fading memories and a few old pictures. C'est la vie ?
Regards
Geoff. ( Geoffrey McElwaine )

Today my mother in law and I went through some old pictures and here is my brief selection;
My mother in law's cousins, picture was taken around 1930
Unfortunately I do not know nor the year the pict was taken nor the association this interestly dressed men belong to.
What an outfit ha  But for shure it was taken before the second world war.
Again do not know the year, but I know this one was also taken before the war in the nearby scaut's home (yes the sacut's home is still there and still very much in use )
Early 40's, my mother in law at her first communion
The first one is from 1945; my mother in law and her brother, on second one is my husbands cousin. Yep that's what kids were wearing in late 50's
 
This is an improvised brickyard, the photo was taken in 1953 and my mother in law is among the workers. As I heard it was very commonly also for younger children to work in those brickworks.
This one is from early 60's; bus drivers (and my late father in law among them) waiting for passengers on a train station
My father in law on a motorcycle in early 60's
Tomorow I am going to see my parents and I will be certainly searching for some old pictures
