We don't know the identity of these cute little kids and their momma(?). But the house behind them is the old Harms farmhouse, 8842 Ainsworth Road.



These photos were scanned from old negatives. Could someone please tell me the significance of that "36" punched into the film in the above picture?





It's hard to date such photos — the woman's clothing in the first picture being barely visible, and children's play-clothes so little subject to fashion — but my rough guess is around the time of World War I.
