Happy Sons and Daughters Day! This 1922 Puente family photo may have seen better days but it shows a couple blessed by *lots* of sons and daughters. Do you have both? :)

People generally didn't smile in formal portraits back then, not even wedding photos.

Audrey Howe Actually, by the late 1800's, exposures took only a few seconds. The little Brownie camera was invented in 1900. I still have my folks' old Brownie camera from the 1920's.

According to the link, this photo was taken in 1922, not long before, sadly, one of the little girls in the front row died.

Really? My Dad's grandmother had 12 pregnancies - 8 survived to adulthood. I think my grt grandmother would think she was blessed with each and every surviving child.

Very common to have a lot of children at that time as so many did not survive illnesses. Poor mother. My partner's g grandparents had 13 but 4 died young.

Kate van Dyck yes Kate very common there was no reliable contraception and all the churches frowned upon contraception anyway. No one in thSt time ever thought about the terminal exhaustion suffered by those poor eternally pregnant women. Many many of them suffered prolapse of the uterus which wasn’t repaired until after child bearing days were over. Nothing was allowed to interfere with keeping the Mrs pregnant and happy. Funny my grandmother and many other of her age group all had the same mantra which was “ IF WOMAN HAD THE FIRST BABY AND MAN HAD THE SECOND THERE WOULD BE NO THIRD.

My dad was the eldest of 9 children and, at 14, left school to get a job to help the family. He was already 20 when his last sibling was born.

My mom was the second youngest in a family of 12. She married my dad when she was 16, and they lived with his family where my mom helped out with the housework, cooking, and her in-laws youngest children.

I might have had some brothers, but my mom had 5 mid-term miscarriages. My folks adopted a little girl, and then my mom got pregnant again and, this time, carried full term and had me.

I have two sons...the eldest is 10 years older than his brother, but I had a daughter inbetween the boys. Lost her to SIDS.

My grandparents married when he was 21 and she was 13 and a half. My oldest aunt was born when Granny was 14 yrs and 9 months old. My mother is #12 out of the 13 children, 10 boys and 3 girls. There was a set of twin boys (babies #10 & #11) next older than her. They were born more than 2 months early in Nov. 1948, at home. One only lived a few hours, but the other did fine. So out of 12 pregnancies, they raised 12 children. Five are still alve, my Mom and 4 brothers.
I asked Granny once why she had so many kids -- she said "I liked babies and I liked your Grandpa (wink, wink, blushing).

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
