How far has your family come from past generations?
Advertisements [?]
I was browsing thru some pictures my sister posted on myfamily.com and saw a picture that really made me realize how far things have come in just 2 generations.



The little girl on the left is my grandmother, I'm guessing this was taken between 1910 and 1915. To be honest, I'm shocked to see her with a nice doll, they grew up in pretty much poverty. I have seen a similar picture of my mother but in much worse conditions - a raggedy dress, no toys. Here I sit on a computer in a decent home with 4 kids who have attended college and I'm amazed at the changes.

Post any pictures you have of previous generations!
