Family tree from my father's side | Family tree from my mother's side

Family tree from my father's side

This is the first photo- gallery I have posted on PBase.
It was December 2003.

Someone had created an account for me already in 2002.
At that time PBase was totally free, but I had used it only to exchange some family snapshots with distant friends, without posting anything publicly.
Therefore this display of old photos of my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents marked rightly the beginning of my experiences on PBase.

Many things have changed since then and my photographic skills have maybe evolved a little too.
I have deleted most of my old photos, which had composed my first galleries as well, but I have kept all this series dedicated to my family origins.
Every now and then, when my mother finds an old photo forgotten in the bottom of a cardboard box or a drawer and gives it to me, I might add it.

We are all made of our past.

A marvellous collection...really historic, and moving. Your father was a hero. It inspires me to get on and do something similar about my roots.

to see a life at some images... what was it even before existing.. what it came, what it was and is..
a gallery made with love..
thank you for sharing it.. i cant prevent myself, when i see a work like this, to think about my own family.. the memories, an image that even so different places we are and different cultures, keep the traces and i can recognize...

Wonderful tribute to your father Marisa and your gallery is superb.
I like digging into the past and collected some old photos myself.
