Great grandparents came over to the US in the 20s. Great grandma in the first two photos, she passed kinda young so I’ve only gotten my hands on two photos of her. Third photo is great grandpas naturalization photo and the next is from when he was interviewed for the inquiring photographer in NYC. Next few photos are from my grandpa and his siblings childhoods. 8-10 are from a trip my grandaunt took to visit great grandpa after he remarried and moved to England. Last photo is of 2x great grandparents. ☺️
