Figure 1.--We have archieved a smaller family, probanly from New Brunswick (figure 1). This is a small family with mother and father and two children, a boy and girl. They are apparently caring for grandmother. It is interesting because it looks rather like an English family. Image courtesy og the CO collection.

We have a few images of Canadian families during the 1930s. We note an image of a French Canadian family having a picnic, probably in the 1930s. We have archieved a smaller family, probanly from New Brunswick. It is interesting because it looks rather like an English family.

French Canadian Family Picnic (1930s)

We have a few images of Canadian families during the 1930s. We note an image of a French Canadian family having a picnic, probably in the 1930s. There are two intresting aspects of this photograph. It illistrates the often large size of a French Canadian family. The other aspect is the large waistband or cumberbun the older boy wears. Note also that almost all the children wear long stockings. The photograph is undated, but we would guess was probably taken in the 1930s.

New Brunswick Family (1930s)

We have archieved a smaller family, probanly from New Brunswick (figure 1). This is a small family with mother and father and two children, a boy and girl. They are apparently caring for grandmother. It is interesting because it looks rather like an English family. I think the boy is wearing short pants and kneesocks rather than knickers, akthough it is difficult to tell. Notice how the boy has buttoned his collar. Also notice the snake belt which was very common in England at the time.
