Family History

[DRMARIO]

For about a year now, ive been tracingb back my family history, to my second name "Buckby"
But all ive found up to now, is that in someway the name was earned, and that Buckby originates from a place called longbuckby in northampshire,
And we owned Buckby castle..
But ive kinda got sidetracked, and started looking back at my mothers family history,
And ive been given a load of edwardian photographs of my mothers family, around 20 years ago, when Photographs were first invented.
Theyre posted below.
But i thougth it would be interesting to hear about your family history aswell....



The man on there, is my great great great great grandfather, and the woman with no hat on is my great great great great grandmother,
The woman in the centre, is the mother of my great grandma who recently died. Obviously, that photo isnt as odl as the other two.

Never had any relatives from America...i dont think ..
I found a picture of my Grandpa Leo, He was a german jew, and My grandma said he was in autzvits(or how ever you spell it) and they pulled out his nails with hot wires, removed one of his lungs etc..To torture him, but he escaped, and lived till he was seventy odd, and he looks healthy-ish in the pictures.

Man that guy must have been healthy, my da' tells me that my great grandfather was a one legged goalkeepper for celtic (but he lost his leg after he retired obviously )
