Thomas Tragheim / Tragham

This is my grandfather, Thomas Waddell Tragheim (he started going by Tragham during the second world war). He died three years ago today. The girl is my mother, Eleanor, and since she was born in 1938 I’m guessing this was taken in 1940 (I’m assuming she’s about two years old here). My grandad was born in 1910 and worked as a house painter. He loved animals and used to breed and show cage birds. According to a note I have the picture was taken on the Law in Dundee, Scotland. The Law is a hill right in the middle of the city.

     It’s good to hear from you! Are you Matt’s dad, by any chance? I’ve been in sporadic contact with him. Silly me — I was confusing you with another Tragheim with a different first name. We have a large family and sometimes it seems like I have a very small brain. I’ll email!
