It took my dad and I a while to figure out who those people were, but we did it last weekend. the woman on the left is my great grandmother, who I take after for looks. The other woman is my great great grandmother, the man is my great grandfather, the man behind the tree is my great great grandfather, the baby very well may be my grandmother (or one of my great aunts), the girl is my great aunt and the boy is my great uncle who died probably shortly after this picture was taken at the age of 6 by drowning.
For some reason, my great great grandfather behind the tree kind of creeps me out. I don't know why. Maybe because his skin looks like it blends in with the tree and it almost looks like he shouldn't be there. Hell, for all I know, no one was there and it's some sort of ghost. O__O
This lovely lady is my grandmother, taken around the 30's or 40's. She was very pretty and there was talk that she did modeling for a department store in New Jersey. There's no proof of this, but if someone has photos of a woman who looks like her doing some modeling, please leave a comment telling me so. You don't know how much it would mean to my dad and me if we could see the fabled modeling photos.
The dude behind the tree is definitely creepy. There isn't even any indication of a face there, just a mottled mess under a hat...which is weird because the collar of his shirt seems to show up clearly enough. Looks like there was a Kruger in your family.
