My grandmother is the little girl sitting on the edge of the right column. My great grandfather and grandmother are the couple on the bottom right. A few great aunts and uncles mixed in there as well.

This photo is on display at the Institute of Texan Culture's in San Antonio (where I found it online in their database).

Notice what denomination these Italian immigrants are...

Thats pretty cool. Most of my family dates back to farmers / earth folk, who didnt have cameras.

What a treasure.

Why do you think they came to the US?

Is that a faint glimmer of voodoo in your grandmother's eye?

I'm assuming the photographer is leaning the camera since they all seem to be sitting upright.

that's an awesome picture. I'd have the original preserved, make copies and frame it for a proud display. Good family rocks.

We actually took a picture 10 or so years ago of the surviving members of this pic on those same steps. A few of them have died since then...

If I showed a pic from my family circa 1860 there would be many a mad black person.

if only they knew how you'd turn out to be a fake cholo with a 5th-grade mustache.
