Several years ago, I scanned a large quantity of slides given to my husband by his Aunt Jean Murphy. The slides were photos taken by his Uncle Ralph Murphy and have given me hours of entertainment. Many are images of places they visited, some are work related, and of course there are family photos. Before the holiday season ends, I thought I’d post some of the Christmas photos from the collection. We can identify some of the people in the photos but not all. If you stumble across this blog post and can identify anyone, I’d love to hear from you. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year!

Working to identify these boys now. I believe they were members
of the extended Murphy family. |

That was some office party! Looks like the man may be Uncle Ralph.
The others are unknown. |

These photos are bright, crisp windows into your family's history. You're so fortunate to have them!
ReplyDeleteMy husband's aunt gave us over 6000 slides that I've converted to digital. These were part of the collection. There are many more and I've spent hours looking through them. I'm thankful to have them! Thanks for taking a look.
DeleteI'm going to post this to the Clarksburg History Museum page and see if people can identify any of the Murphy relatives and/or friends. I love these photos of Christmas when I was little girl (born 54)
