Figure 1.-- Here we see the father in his First Communion suit (1913). Some children are hard to track as adults. The boy pictured here is easily identifiable in the subsequent images as he marries and has children and grandchildren. We find it a little more difficult to follow his future wife.

Here we see the father in his First Communion suit (1913). Some children are hard to track as adults. The boy pictured here is easily identifiable in the subsequent images as he marries and has children and grandchildren. We find it a little more difficult to follow his future wife. Here he has carefully combed hair, not a center part, but cloes to it, His First Communion suit is like a tuxedo. He wears kneepants with three quarter socks rather than long stockings. The sleeve now identifies this as a First Communion portrait. Not the medalion on his lapel. I assume that is for the First Communion. I'm not sure if all these children got these for doing First Communion or if represents some specual achievement. French boys often were awarded medals for academic performance.
