January 3, 2016.My Family Album - Photos from the past.
September 28. 2015: I have begun to scan old photos taken by my mother and her sister Ruth. There are also photos from my father's side of the family showing his brothers and sisters yet to be scanned. This will be a continuing project with the updated published photos announced and linked from this MENU web page.
My mother was born in 1924 to Charlie and Alice Cooper. These photos are from her collection. The oldest photos will start the section about my mother and her older sisters. Select from the links provided below. This page has separate MENU tables to link to the pages showing family photos grouped by family members and their friends featured in the photos. As this part of the web site grows, newer photos from my own collection will be posted. I have some photos I took of a Cooper Family Reunion from
