Gordon and Alice Saunders Family: November 2009

Welcome to our Family Blog

This started as a place where we can post pictures of Grandma to help Alysha's project. Please feel free to add pictures and stories of our families and ancestors so we can get to know them all better.

Please upload your pictures in the original size at the largest image size on the upload screen. When scanning photos be sure to scan them at a minimum of 300 dpi. If you can please put the date on your picture or in your post when it was taken so we can put them in some kind of order. You can add a tag or label by putting the information in the label box when you make a post. That way we can find entries about a specific person or event.

It was suggested that we keep this blog private so if you would like your families to be able to view and comment on the blog please send their email addresses and they will be sent an invitation.

Thanks for helping to make this a successful way to share and strengthen our family.

Undated Family Photos

L-R Back Row: Gord, Cyndi, Allyson, Marilynne, Mike, Wendy, Jessica (baby), Tom.

L-R Front Row: Greg, Alice, Gordon, Ruthanne

Would this be around 1971? (According to Mike)

L-R Back Row: Mike, Tom, Gord, Marilynne, Cyndi

L-R Front Row: Allyson, Gordon, Ruthanne, Alice, Greg

Anyone remember when this was taken? I guessed around 1968. Please comment and let us know. Mike says it is probably 1966. Grandma thinks it is 1968 as well.

Grandpa James Laurie's Regiment Hat and Pin

Nicholas is wearing the hat that Grandpa James Laurie wore when he was in the Gordon Highlanders in World War I. You can see the pin on the side of it. It is the original Regimental pin of the Gordon Highlanders with the broken antler.

June 1988 Family Picture

L-R Back Row: Greg, Mike, Alice, Gordon, Tom, Gord

L-R Front Row: Ruthanne, Allyson, Cyndi, Marilynne

This was taken in June of 1988 around Grandma and Grandpa's Anniversary. Can anyone remember the date this was taken? Alysha says that Allyson was due with Katelyn so it was 1988. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for helping us correct this post.
