As you can see there are a couple of bigger families in this picture. The older couple has six children in the photo, and one of them has ten children. (These are both from Ancient Faces: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/member/28002/photo/family ) I love family reunions!!!

These may be from various Chappell families; I haven't done the research. They're from Ancient Faces. Seven Chappell children (if it's the same family as the one below there are twelve in total.) The oldest girl doesn't seem that worried about having one sock on and one off. Perhaps she has an injury. There's some type of animal in a tub. Great smiles!! from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/376750 Don't they look just like Dad, who's trying to hide on the left? from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/376751 6 of the 12 Chappell Children Ray, Josephine, Wilburn, Brenda, Ralph. and Jane from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/376735 Bottlefeeding the Pig Miss Elijah Jane Macacin Maxwell, wife of James Wilburn Maxwell; the children are Francis, Sarah, Jesse and Ronald Chappell. from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/376734

family of Ballard Cecil Waller and Betty Mae Hurdleston Waller, from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/403482

Family of Samuel Marion "Bud" and Martha Jane Richards Roper It looks like about 9 children, plus spouses and grandchildren. From: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/403462

Four-generation photo: Jean Gagnon and his daughter Georgianna, granddaughter Anna Jolin, and great-granddaughter Micheline Poulin. For more information on this family, see Ancient Faces page http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/403473 For family researchers who find this post, I am not researching the family; I got the photo from the above webpage. Here are more Gagnon families. I didn't even check to see if they are related to the above. It looks like the same man but it's the wrong era. Perhaps this is a look-alike namesake son? You can research that on Ancient Faces if you're interested. Taken 1940. Back: Ernest, Vital, Mathilda, Gerard and Joseph. Front: Eveline, Jean, Demerise and Justine Ancient Faces link: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/377280 Same family in 1945: Back: Joseph, Ernest, Gaudias, Gerard and Vital Front: Maria, Eveline, Justine, Alphonsine and Mathilda link: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/377282 And one more Gagnon famil...

This family had 16 children; this photo shows nine of them. The Ancient Faces page this is from is http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/403464

I love this photo! Kristin wrote that she tore this picture out of a magazine years ago, and feels it was probably taken sometime around 1905-1915. Click on the photo for a larger version. Imagine the expense of all those matching girls' shoes!
