Imagine these sisters - born in the 1860's - listening to the miracle of radio on a Sunday afternoon.

I’m in my 70s (born in the 40s) & have lived thru the advent of commercial TV, frozen food, microwave ovens, home computers, moon landings, fall of the British Empire & Soviet Union, cheap airfares & cellphones. I’m now looking forward to electric cars & renewable energy for everybody. Amazing!

Also born in the 40s. Remember listing to the radio and wondering what a television was.

My maternal grandmother was born in 1887, and used to tell me ,"we live in such wonderful times". Sh thought her recliner, her color tv, and her aluminum Christmas tree (with color wheel) were truly the most wonderful things one could own. I believe she was right! 😉

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
