Hop Along Family Photos

My ma showed me old family photos last weekend. I learned that my great grandparents emigrated to Belfast in the early 1900's from Scotland. My great grandfather was a firefighter and my great grandmother worked in a mill. They lived in a house just at the end of my street! My family has practically lived on the Shankill all our lives! Crazy, isn't it?
