Does anyone know this lovely family??
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 00:07 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

I was sorting through my mothers papers and photos after she died and I had been going to throw this picture away.

My Mother always told me that these people were a lovely family and that she knew them before WW2.  She told me that they were all shot by the Nazis during the war, I was told that they lived on the island of Jersey.

Just in case anyone wants a copy of this picture I am posting it here.  It just might be someone's family, who is a member of this board!

It doesn't seem right to just throw it away somehow, as a child the story horrified me.

This is a lovely family and you shouldn't throw it away.

What a poor, poor family :(

Really makes you think when you see pictures like this...perhaps you could arrange for it to be put into the Jersey papers...you never know who or what may turn up!

Hi Matt,

Please take a copy and do with it what you will, as long as we find out the truth I am happy, but I have to dispose of some of my pictures because I cannot keep all of them.

I would love to know the truth behind this sad story, and if there are any relies out there they are welcome to a copy of this picture.
