Drab Family Portrait c.1924 - Family of Frank & Aloysia

A DRAB family portrait circa 1924 probably taken on Long Island, NY where they lived.

Frank and Aloysia Drab with four of their six children (the youngest two, Bill & Mary, not yet born)

Children from left to right:
Frank at about 8 or 9
Louise at about 6 or 7 (my grandmother)
Joe the baby at about 1 or 2
John at about 2 or 3

father Frank would've been about 33-34
mother Aloysia would've been 34-35

Within our direct lineage, these children were the first generation of children that were all born here in the USA.   Both parents were born in Bohemia.  Frank's first cousins (children of his Uncle Jan & Barbara Drab) were technically the first generation of our Drab family born in the US.

Mary Drab, Portrait at abt 17 years old

This stunning photo is a portrait of Mary Drab, the youngest of Frank and Aloysia Drab's six children, and the 2nd of two girls. She is the little sister of my Grandma Louise, having had an age difference of about 10 years. 

Marked as being taken in 1944, and her year of birth being 1927, this photo would put her age at approximately 17 years old, making it very likely that this was a high school graduation or yearbook photo.
