these are precious people ! I could not help but cry realizing all these people are deceased.....There comes a time, when one by one, we are all taken, leaving behind memories, and loved ones that weep, and mourn our passing....
What makes you think they are dead? They could well still be alive. I was about the age of the girl in the film and I'm 70 now. People are living well into their 90's now.
@@katella I think it's likely the adults and the dog are dead. The children, yes, might very well be alive. And how 'bout that groovy guitar music. Timeless!
That is the main reason I want to preserve these. My source material is from estate sales and auctions. Which means that they don’t seem to be valued enough by the family anymore for whatever reason. This is still history that should be preserved in my mind and it makes me very happy to see that others can still appreciate them!
I cried at the true love this family had. I do so hope one of the children still owns the home and keeps an amazing garden like their parents did. And what a sweet doggie, he just adored them all.
Sorry to hear that. It’s a bit of a tough call. I try to match the mood as best I can since the alternative for 8mm film is the original soundtrack - silence 😁
I noticed the Mother folding up the wrapping paper just as my Mother did and used it again the next year. ❤️
Oh to have the old folks back again for a bit!!!!
A home film commemorating, a simple pleasures of life. I graduated from high school in 1967.

Looks like my past brought to life again !!
Life is so fleeting ✨❤️
Awesome 👍
It gave me goosebumps to look at this family that could have been mine and to think that life is over so quickly.
I was born this year❤

It is indeed a wonderful life
Precious memorys
Yes, but WONDERFUL❣🤗
it s fun to see the daughter go from teen to young lady!
That looks like any number of houses in Auustralia Christmas day 1967.In rural NSW there was a massive dust storm on Christmas day!
It is filmed Canada - but it wouldn't surprise me that you would think that - we do share some common history 😀
to sad to watch 👍if they were my family
Close family.
Lindo. ❤
There’s no context of who this is where it was etc.? That’s a bit sad.
That’s the problem - I get them from estates and auctions. I have no idea who they were. But they should never be forgotten.
Oh wait -- there's a raccoon -- it's in N. America....oh wait -- it's a zoo...in Canada! At least that's where Niagara Falls is...
You are correct!
I don't think the film was shot in the US - it looks like Europe maybe??
Canada actually - but from what I can tell from the other films I got from that collection, it was a immigrant family from Europe
The music is annoying 😊 it takes away from the nostalgic ....q

I never look at pictures anymore
Why? Does it make you sad! 💫
Breaks my heart to look at old photos. People and pets that I loved so much. Just gone.
