The recreation of the damaged parts is pretty good. Except for the hands, which
I would probably have painted in worse
than you did :-) , and some random artifacts, esp. on dad's left hand.
What I don't understand is why you messed so much with the undamaged parts,
especially the people. It seems to me that
the family who are the subjects are the primary point of the restoration. Make
the family look as good as possible -
make all the background stuff look good enough that it doesn't distract.
There's a great deal that can be done to make them look better. I've taken a
stab at it.

The large size of the original doesn't lend itself to overlay display, so I did
both a reduced version of the whole
thing and a crop using the full size you made available.
