how about these guys??? my great uncles and aunt. Im guessing 1930 something, probably late. My grandfather was the youngest, born in 1919, and not in this pic. What amazes me about this picture is that they grew up poor, fatherless for many years, in Jersey City. My grandfather's father died when he was four. He was a veteran of the Boer War (dutch immigrant) and a US ARMY linguist in WWI. My great-grandmother, an Irish immigrant, did laundry and ironing in a Jersey City apartment to pay the bills and feed multiple kids. They worked from when they were kids, fought in WWII, and never took a hand out.
