Park Hyeon Ji

Hi, i'm Park Hyeon Jee. 

 This attached picture is relatives on my mother’s side. We took a picture in front of Dongnimmun in Seoul.

 The baby who sits in a stroller on the very left is me. I was 3-year-old. (maybe) And the man who holds stroller is my father. He married the beautiful woman who holds a boy in the middle of picture. She is my mother and she has bob hair.

 Look at the right side of my mom and search people wearing flower pattern shirt. They are my grand parents! :) They are farmers in Geumsan which is famous by ginseng and they have 2sons and 3daughters. They have many grandkids as you see. They arrive now and very healthy. I heard my grandparents were poor when they raised children. Although everyone did that then I am proud of them because of the rearing of children. They are very brave and strong. :D I think that picture took in 1995 or 1996.

The baby that sit another stroller is my uncle's son and my one year younger brother. I think he is 1year old. So this picture took in 1995. :)

This is a historical blog focused on showing and preserving pictures of Korea. It is based on the contributions of my students at Woosong University. These are old family photos that show the Korea of generations past. Hopefully, more photos will be forthcoming. For the most part, I am not correcting the student's grammar. I am letting their words stand.

My great-grand mother is in front of her mother who is wearing a Han-bok (Korean traditional cloth).

She is wearing a one piece dress. Her great-grand mother is near by her.

She had 4 cousins who are two girls and two little boys.

A man standing near her grand mother is her grand father.
