The Best family, from Denise in New Zealand


Denise writes:
Only 12 children are in the photo. Two more are born later! I would guess that this was taken in the very late 1920s or very early 1930s.

These photos are so great, Natalia! I love looking at them!

I hope you don't mind I added this blog to my blogroll. It's private, so you probably won't get much traffic from there, but it's easier for me to peek in here then. :) If you'd rather I didn't, let me know. If you want access to my blog, email me.

No problem, that'd be great! I think I have an old link to your blog but if you've changed things it probably won't work, so I would love the info to access it.

Long awaited additions....

I don't know anyone but myself who has long awaited any additions to this picture blog, but isn't it best to assume the positive? Here are some photos from various genealogy or other sites. These are just thumbnails to tempt you. Clicking on the photo or on the link I give should link you to the family's site, to the page where the photo is. This is for courtesy and possibly copyright reasons. The Jacob-Buys family. Clicking on the picture above will take you to the original site, where names are listed under the photo. Upon reading a little further, I came up with these interesting points about this Dutch family. There were 19 children; two were born after this photo. Their given names were actually much more "interesting" than the ones under the photo. They are very Latin sounding. There were 60 grandchildren, from 9 of the children in the photo.
