Birnbaum Family Phtoto
Etty,
This is exactly why I set up this blog. Many photos have been going across the Internet via e-mail the past couple of months. This was one of them.
Moishe Avrum has also asked for a high-quality version of the photo suitable for taking to the local photo store for printing and subsequent framing.
The photo my mother has is not of the greatest quality. I did scan it and made some adjustments to it to enhance the photo. I believe that it will serve this need.
To save this high-quality photo to your personal computer simply right click on the image and choose the save function. The actual size of the photo is 4.77 x 6.45 inches.
Or click on the above photo to see it in full size and then save the file to your computer.
Here is the order of people in the photo
Back Row Left to Right
Gitel, Itzchak, Golda, Yechaskiel,
Nissan Silber (Golda's Husband),
Fruma, Fievel
Middle Row left to right
Tobe, Avrum
Front Row left to right
Ruchel, Max
I'll be posting more photos over the next couple of days. Please if anyone else has any photos please take the time to post them.

Thank you very much, Alan, the enlarged picture makes a lot of difference. I can distinguish familiar faces.
I will look to see what I can find in the way of family photos, but I gave most of the old ones to Gideon. I see my father's policy of never smiling in photographs started young.
Is Leo Birnbaum not in the picture? And was this picture taken in Poland?
Based on my best guess of when this photo was taken it was in the early to mid 1920's. It would have been taken in Poland as my grandfather did leave Poland until the start of the war. The date is further reinforced as all the siblings are here and had not yet left for Israel, but Leo is missing. I assume he had already left for Canada. Leo had left for Canada in the early 20's.
I also looked at your father Max who was born in 1912 and who appears to be a boy between the ages of 10-13.
As to smiling in photos, from this photo and my grandfather's behavior that seems to be a family trait.
