Verdun in Black and White: Family Photographs from the 1940s/1950s
In 1955 our Theriaults were living in Verdun on ave. de l’Eglise (Church Avenue) in a third floor walkup.
This photograph shows Daughter No.1 on the front blacony.
This extract from the 1956 Lovell’s Directory confirms that my parents were living at 1429 ave de l’Eglise. it also mentions that my father (whose nickname was Eddy) was working at the local Steinberg’s.

ABOUT ME
I’m Evelyn Yvonne Theriault, a teacher who lives near Montreal, Quebec. I belong to a wonderful family so I’ve combined my two loves into one hobby – family history & genealogy. This site has two main purposes. The first is to share the Canadian Family Vintage Postcard Collection and to encourage the use of postcards by family historians and genealogists through activities such as the online magazine – A Festival of Postcards. The second is to share my personal genealogy & family history information and to help others who are researching Acadians & French Canadians of Quebec and New Brunswick.

I love photographs from the 1950’s and earlier. It is fun to see parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and others, particularly those we have never met and never will meet in our lifetime. The pictures are wonderful ways to see how they lived.
Hi Wendy – I love, love, love b/w photos too – although this one is of me!
Evelyn
Une photo incroyable, et qu’une petite fille charmante.
Merci, Chris!
