I saw your family pictures and I knew Shimmy, Rose and Minnie. Minnie was a lovely lady that I remember. I was a little boy that lived next door on 24th St.. Rose and Shimmy were wonderful neighbors along with thier Sons Vincent and Felix. I enjoyed seeing their pictures as I remembered them. Nice family history. How lucky you are to have all those early photos of your family.
