Related by Marriage: Squeeze In


Suburban Chicago, 1967. Mr. Irene's childhood home was small, and it had no dining room. When Mr. Irene's family entertained, they sometimes set up a table in the living room. Here, Mr. Irene sits between Cousin I and Danutė, the wife of Uncle D. Cousin I's Dad, Anthony, stands next to Mr. Irene's Mom.

My mother's house had 6 bedrooms (7 kids) on 3 floor, but only one bath.

Built in 1912.

Life was an adventure back then.
