Figure 1.-- This Finnish family is unidentified. They lived in the small village of Vehkaoja, we think in the 1940s. during 1940s. One boy wears knickers, the other seems to be wearing very long short pants with suspenders. Both boys are barefoot. The boys look to be about 6-8 years old. They seem to have different ideas about being photographed. Their big sister weairs a prit dress. She looks to be about 11 years old. She wears what look like sandals, probably because she is a little older.
