I started looking through my family albums and found some photographs of my mum’s side of the family before and right after I was born. However I don’t have access to photographs which were taken any earlier than  in 1997 because they are with my Nan who lives in Madeira.  My mum is part of a 6 sibling family I was able to find photographs of two of her siblings who were living in Jersey at the time. I also found a photograph of my auntie and two of my cousins in Madeira outside my Nan’s house.
