A New Source

This blog already features most of our "really old" family photos. Occasionally, I still find a gem to post, but the well is running dry. I sometimes ask relatives and friends if they'd be willing to share images from pre-war Lithuania or the Displaced-Persons era. Both my beloved Toronto Cousin and my dear friend, Kris, have provided images for the blog.

I've recently been in touch with an old friend, Ron, who was born in a Displaced-Persons camp. You saw Ron and his Mom here. Ron has sent along some bloggable snapshots. Thank you, Ron!

Here is the first photo from Ron's batch:


Probably Munich, Germany, about 1948 or 1949. A bishop and other Roman Catholic clergy oversee a confirmation ceremony at the Displaced Persons camp.
