There are no family photos of me in existence. I was the third child, with brothers 10 and 12 years older than me so it was a case of seen that, don’t need to record it. I still have some memories of childhood, otherwise I could have entered the world as an adult and never realized that there was a time when I was a child.

I don’t have many of me as a child, I have pictures of people I don’t know because when “family” died I got the pictures but nothing is written on them. I sadly did the same thing and have too many pictures of my recently deceased wife and I for the last 35 years and I don’t know many of the people in them. MIL just died and I was looking at her pictures for some of my wife as a child and I didn’t find any but many of people I don’t know and nothing written on them either. So the cycle continues.

That’s especially true if you have older siblings. The documentation seems to slacken with each child.

Wow. So it is.

Why would I want to look at photos of myself as a child? Is that a thing people want to do? Genuinely asking
