This is the oldest family photograph that I found. Since my grandparents live in France, I had them find this photograph and send me a digital picture of it. It is probably not the oldest family photograph that we have, but since we didn't have a lot of time to find one, this is what I chose. This photograph is from 1944. It is of my great grandparents on my mother's side, Paule and Pierre. The two year old little girl is my grandmother, Marie Blanche Casablanca. This was taken after they moved from Algeria to Paris, but before moving to a small mountain village in Corsica. In this picture, my relatives are in a park in Paris, that weirdly enough, I recognize. I don't know who was taking the photo, but my mother told me that it was probably taken using a nice American film camera. At the time, they could only use black and white film. I think that the photograph was retouched later on by my grandfather, Hervé. It was funny to find such a nice family photograph, because it's like the ones we would take today, but from the 1940s. It was weird for me to see these "ancient" pictures, because I haven't been told very much about my family on my mother or father's side. I didn't even know my great grandparents' names or history before this assignment.
