1897-5
This photo was also found at the
YIVO encyclopedia
which in it's caption points out who Yosef, Pesa and Cemach (who became quite famous) are.
Three generations of the Szabad family: Yosef Szabad, a merchant (seated, center) and his wife, Pesa, a shopkeeper and daughter of a rabbi, Vilna, 1897. One of their sons, Tsemaḥ Szabad (back row, sixth from left) became a prominent doctor, communal leader, and politician. Photograph by N. Serebrin. (YIVO)
My dad's caption is:
See next photo (ZS99 002) for information. "3 Generations of Vilna Szabads 1897 (boy Michael 7 years old) girls left to right Regina (cousin) Rala (Rachel) & Rosan Michael's sisters" I believe this is the photo that is in the book "Image Before My Eyes" Regina is the daughter of Timofei (Cemach) Szabad. I believe that Michael's parents - Izydor and Paulina Szabad are the couple in the far right of the seated row. Since this is a 3 generation photo Joseph (Yosif) and Pesya Szabad must be in it. They must be in the middle of the seated row (Michael is between them) I can't positively identify anyone else. Joseph and Pesya had 4 boys and 3 girls. They all married and had children. Thus siblings and spouses make up 14 people. However there are 16 persons not counting 3 grandchildren and the 2 grandparents. So perhaps 2 of the 16 are older grandchildren. I don't have enough birthdates to figure it out.
