They Came From France.

As most of you know, I have family in France - my great-grandfather on my dad's side was an American GI in WWI, and met a fetching bar-maid in the local watering hole near where he was stationed. He shipped off for home, and a couple months later, my great-grandmother packed up and got on a ship headed for Ellis Island, so she could find her GI. The first picture is Marie and Charlie, my great-grandparents; the rest of the photos are other relations whose names I forgot. Though, I think my grandmother appears in the picture of the four children, but I can't say for certain.
