Ijlst - Zevenpelsen
A postcard photo of the canal in Ijlst (Friesland) in the late 1940s. From 1943-47 my parents lived in the large 2 storey house - then the manse of the Reformed Church (its tower is visible). I was born in this house.
My mother saved postcards of the places where in the Netherlands she and her growing family had lived, as well as other pictures for the family photo album. As we migrated to Australia in 1951 when the eldest of her children was only 5, this photo album was an important way of keeping us kids in touch with our country of birth.
