[QUOTE="Retro, post: 435965, member: 37517"] It's a lot of fun, isn't it?! When something means something to you, because of your past, or your ancestors, it really means a lot. That Kodak is the kind of camera my great-grandfather might have had. My dad's mom grew up in a Mennonite colony in Tiegenhagen, Molochna, in eastern Russia, or Prussia, up until 1918. She was a Neufeld, and they were all wealthy. One of the signs of that wealth was that they had a camera, and I have a lot of pictures of the family around their home. It's kind of a given of the time that if you have pictures, you were rich. I'll never know what camera they had, but your Kodak is from that time. I'm sure there were many types then, but if I had the same model they had, that would mean a lot to me. It's great that you are able to bring a piece of your family's past back to life.:) [/QUOTE]
