I find it so interesting to see how the facial features of my Great Grandmother have been handed down from generation to generation and they are very prolific throughout my Dad’s family. It does look like they are softening somewhat down the generations perhaps by the influence of the mothers of each person. This is the earliest photo I have of someone with these family traits, there must surely be someone before my Great Grandmother, but as yet I do not have a photo. I hope to some day be able to take it back further.
I have scrapped a layout for the a Family History Telling The Story Challenge featuring my parents. I created this layout Created with my Cinnamon Sunday Digital Scrapbook Kit.
Journalling: My parents married on the 31st of May 1968. They met at a dance and my Mum at first couldn’t believe the stories my father told her about his days as a marine. Nevertheless they fell in love and after getting married migrated to Australia. They left Holland on the 3rd of January 1969 and arrived in Australia via boat on the 4th of February 1969. They arrived in Australia with very little and went to classes to learn English and found jobs in factories so that they could make a life in their new country.
Journalling – My Opa (Jacobus Hooijmaaijers) who is the father of my Dad, spent his life earning a living as a house painter to support his wife Adriana (van Strien) and their eleven children.
