Extended Family Photo Collections ^
Since my grand-daughters already refer to their mother’s father as “grandDad,” the decision was made to call me “DadDad,” as their father’s father.
So here I’m adopting their coding scheme as a relationship short-hand for pictures in these galleries.
Here are three galleries, the first for my mother’s family, the second for my father’s family the third for my brother’s.
