My Ancestors ca. 1888


I had to post the bottom picture again because my Aunt sent them to me as a set. The top photo was taken in 1888 ( click on the photo to enlarge)- 7 years after they emmigrated from Sweden. The young boy on the right is the man I knew as my grandfather- he was actually my great uncle- his brother( my real grandfather) passed away at the age of 32- 4 years later my grandmother married his brother- the young boy in the right of the photo. William is on the left on my great grandfather's lap- note the shoes he has on! Wish I had them today!!
