An adoptee who found both her maternal and paternal side 18 years ago, I began digging into my new found families past. The journey has been amazing connecting and reconnecting lost and found generations.

She doesn’t look entirely comfortable. I wonder if that’s because her feet don’t actually touch all the way flat to the floor. Or maybe the look is complete satisfaction, with a little ‘That’ll show ya’ thrown in. LOL
Do you know who the baby is? It seems rare to see a photo with a baby in it! Fun to see that they had little footie sleepers then, too.
I hadn’t noticed the footie sleeper – so cute. I actually don’t have much info on this photo and am hoping a family member will chime in on year and who the baby is. Wondering if it could be a grand baby even?
It could be. I’m terrible at telling ages, and several babies in my family were born to women later in life. My mother was 40 when my little sister was born.
I’d guess she’s the grandmother also. I was a little concerned she was going to drop the baby! You are so lucky to have this amazing collection of old photographs. They are wonderful.
Sharon, do you know what year this picture was taken?
No I don’t, and I was hoping a family member will see it and give us the information on it 🙂

Do you think she’s the mother or the grandma? I vote the for the latter.
Hi Luanne – I am thinking Grandmother but I don’t know. Woman appeared much older than they were back then (in general)
I was thinking grandmother, too, because she looks a little bit stiff with the baby, which you wouldn’t expect if she was an older mom.
Totally makes sense and a good argument for grandma 🙂
Regardless of who is holding him or her, that is one contented baby!

We were so lucky to discover this London based family and to have made some wonderful personal connections has been amazing and such a gift!
I’d also guess that she’s the grandmother. Even though she doesn’t look entirely comfortable holding the baby, she looks very proud.
