Wow - just got this message. We have moved in the past 2 months so with selling our old house, having a house built in DE and temporarily moving in with our daughter, I haven't been able to do anything else.
Yes - we are related. Your grandfather/mother were my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Bill. My dad was Henry C. Robbins (Harry). I last saw your Uncle Bill at Gloria's (Penny's sister) funeral.
Are you the youngest one in your family? I remember getting your family's Christmas cards every year with your pictures on them. In fact, when we were going through Mom's things, we found a few and wondered about them. We didn't keep them - there was just TOO much stuff.
My dad passed in '71 (lung cancer). Mom (Jane), as I said, passed in June 2012. She was 1 month shy of 89 and was good right up til the end (she fell while shopping and caused a massive brain bleed). My sister, June, splits her time between Florida and NJ. She has 2 girls, Bonnie and Karen. I have a son, Doug and a daughter, Breanne. I currently live with my daughter (as I said) in Philadelphia but will be moving to DE within a couple of months. Our brother, Harry, has 5 kids - Jenny, Chris, Liz, Jason and Brooksie. He lives in PA also.
If you remember, there were quite a few siblings in your grandmother's family. I think this is the order - Louise, my dad, your grandmother,Uncle Bill, Aunt Jessie and then George. They were all born at home or so I was told. My dad was 10 pounds so I'm sure this was no easy feat.
I am attaching some pictures that are of our family - some are from my brother's facebook (Harry Robbins) and some are from Uncle Bill's daughter, Janette Paoli. She probably would love to have you "facebook" her.
One is of me alone with my dad. Another of most of the siblings with my dad at back left. Another is of your grandmom holding a crying Billy (your uncle) and your mom is looking down. My dad is behind your grandmother in that. The others I've named accordingly.
