More unnamed families

More photos from my CD

The children above look kind of like a posed 1-room school group, but so many of them look VERY alike! The boys in overalls must be twins and a brother, and most of the others look so alike as to be siblings to them also.

They look like a pretty well-to-do family, and with all those boys there must have been a fair bit of mischief going on. And with the girls, even more. I can say this as my family is almost exactly the same in make-up, though spread out in age more than this one. See Maureen's thoughts about the fashion and dating of these photos here at Celestial Charms--Thoughts on Victorian Fashion . T...
