Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any better... Grant Fan, I have a crush on your grandmother! In the first pic she looks like Scarlett Johansson <3 These pics are so pretty they made my day.

Well thank you, and alot of people think she looked like Scarlett Johansson in that picture. I must confess I don't really see it, but I think my abuela was beautiful no matter what.

I don't see the resemblance either. She's much prettier than Scarlett. I don't find Scarlett attractive at all. No offense, just my honest opinion. What I mean is that your relative is beautiful without needing comparison to anyone.:)

ok so this is a great thread :eusa_clap I love it. And here are pictures of my family before they left Cuba in the late 50's or early 60's I am going to guess on the year of the photos.
this is my abuela (grandmother) I think she was around 16 so that should make it around the late 30's early 40's

Your grandmother is stunning and what a beautiful wedding dress.

And my grandmother

Here's my mom with her new Kodak, taking her mother's picture in 1929:

Here she is with my grand dad (see avatar) in 1919. Grandpa is sporting his thankfully short lived mustache:

Thanksgiving 1948, yours truly in the middle (I still have the little blue knit outfit!) You can recognize my mom, with my dad and various and sundry great aunts, uncles, etc.:

:eek:fftopic: Your grandmother is gorgeous. For the record, I have a true faiblesse for Scarlett's beauty, my beloved ex-boyfriend looked just like her but as a boy!

dhermann1, thanks for sharing those lovely shots!

THANKS Blondie, these are great!! I especially love this last one, where it looks like the gals' scarves are blown up over the top of their hair from the wind (?) I WANT to get sunglasses like these, and done with my RX. I also need some vintage 40s looking summer dresses.
