A Dutch reader tells us, "I've been able to resurrect some family snapshots photos that were handed down to me after my mother died. The pictures have my mother and her two older brothers (Rie [short for Maria], Jan, and Peter) with one having my mother's mother (Martha). My mother was born in 1919 in The Hague (Den Haag, Nederland), so I think the earliest one is from about 1921 and the other two a year and two years later. The children look to be about 4-10 years old. As you can see, in all three pictures, the boys wear sailor suits. This was very common for middle class families at the time. Rie has a bow in her hair. Unfortunately, I never saw these while my mother was alive and didn't have an opportunity to ask her about them, so other than the names, the approximate date, and location, I have no further information on the snapshots. My apologies for the poor scans, but the originals are in very poor shape. I have done some gamma correction to bring out the contrasts but that washed out the photos some."
