Over the years I have compiled a family tree which has thrown up many questions, fortunately and I don't know why now, about the time you started university I had several conversations with a Grand Aunt who filled me on the outline of the families history, looking back I should have asked a lot more and kept better notes.
On the right side of your photo are a man and woman dressed just like people were in the movies of the time which, like pottery in an archeological excavation, places a date stamp on the photo.
