A Family Trip Through History

I have many photographs of my relatives on my dads side and many of my moms as well but I thought it best to put them on seperate pages to avoid confusion.  I have not placed the family members in any particular order, therefore they may appear a little ad hoc but members of an individual family will be together.

Anyway I hope you enjoy having a look at these photos.

Dad's mother and father had 10 children in all, 5 boys and 5 girls.  I am not sure at this moment if I have photos of all of them but as soon as or if I get them I will put them on this page.

Dad's sisters were named, Daisy, Lily, Martha, Jenny and Anne.  At this point in time (March 2007) only Anne remains alive.

Dad's brothers were named Jack, Billy, George and Harry. Again, at this point in time (March 2007) only Jack and Billy remain alive.

Grandparents

 
His mother Jane Hoppers Parents.

Grandfather Hopper (First Name Unknown), Grandmother Hopper nee Snowball (First Name Unknown).  My dad was born in 1910 so you can imagine these were taken early in the 1800's.

This is Jane and James Miller.  The mother and father of my dad James Henry Miller.  Jane was born on February 22nd 1886, she was married at age 22 in 1908. She passed away on the 18th of March 1971.  James Miller was a riveter in the shipyards.  He passed away quite young at the age of 56.
