Young Ellen Hansen - Norway Family Portrait
A family photo over a century old!!!
Here is a scanned image of young Ellen Hansen's family portrait c1906 taken at her home in Norway, in Norderhov (Buskerod County), settlement of Hvalsmarken, in the home/domicile named Hvalsmoen. (I suspect the timing could even be a year or 2 earlier than 1906).
Ellen is the young blond girl in bottom right half of photo. She grew up to marry Einar Hansen and became the mother of John (Bjorn) Henning Hansen. It just happens that Ellen had the same last name as Einar, therefore there are two separate branches of Norway Hansens that comprise John's bloodline.
Photo Details: Photo is taken in Norway. Names from left to right are: Hilmer, Ivar, Nora, Armand (Nora's son), Auslaug (child on knee), Magnus, Julie, Ellen, Helge (boy sitting), Eilert, & Almer. Estimated date of photo and names of siblings believed to be provided by Ellen's son, John (notes on cardboard behind photo). There were no names of parents provided. These were established by searching Norway census data (1900 census) where I found the Hansen family with most of the children shown above living in the household. "CLICK HERE FOR CENSUS LINK"

You can also download a zip file containing a high resolution jpeg (5 MB) scan of this original photo (unaltered) along with scans of actual notations on back by clicking on this link... "CLICK TO DOWNLOAD"
Shared here is a peek at a 2-page scrapbook layout I created using this photo to pass along to Jack when he grows up. Hope you enjoy it!
