Sit back, relax and enjoy the people in your past.

MEET JOHN AND ANNE BROWN AND

THEIR 12 CHILDREN

You will be surprised to see how clear these photos of John and Ann and their 12 children are. You may have seen them in black and white on the Welcome page. In this video I have coloured them using My Heritage and Fotor software. This made the people become more real. Only one child is missing from the 12. Amazing!

HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BROWN PORTRAITS

PORTRAITS BRING THEM TO LIFE.

I have taken the privilege, with the help of My Heritage to isolate the heads of some photos from the body. With resizing them they made great portraits. I really wanted to share them with you. Please take a quick look. It is only 5:20 minutes long video.

mEET Francis and Margaret Armstrong AND

You will love the quaintness of the people in this video. Francis, our great, great grandfather is the epitome of what I think of an Irish gentleman. Francis,looks stern in his manner of dress which is the fashion of the times and sporting a Shaleigh in his hand. You will have the pleasure of meeting their son Alexander who marries Sarah Brown. View the video to see who their children are. You have probably met one or two of them.

MEET RICHARD AND ELIZA FARRELL AND

THEIR 7 CHILDREN

A delightful look at this family. You will see our grandmother Cora with her grandparents, Robert and Jane Anne in interesting attire, as well you will meet her parents, Richard and Eliza. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of her siblings.

I do not recall meeting any of the our great, great grandparents Robert and Jane, or even great grandparents Eliza and Richard. I met Cora’s sister Aunt Lilly a few times.

MEET ANTOINE AND ANN JANE GROZELLE AND

THEIR SIX CHILDREN

The Grozelle family is the one family we have probably met. I know I have as you will see I am in the five generations picture. I have met Alfred our great, great grandfather, Haileybury and in a Toronto hospital. He was dying of colon cancer unfortunately. He was 98 years old.

My family visited the Grozelle family home for many get togethers. The video shows a couple of these get togethers. My mother and father, Pearl and Keith, are in one of these pictures, as adults. Earlier get together pictures, shows my father as a child along with his siblings.
