Unknown people from Minnesota, New York, Filtsmeyer, Swenson

These photos were bought at an estate sale in North Branch, MN. We're not sure if all of these photos are from the same family since there is minimal info written on them. 

 This one is labeled grandpa's brother & family. Brought ships into N. Y. harbor. Photo enclosure has Stone Studio 311-52nd ST., Brooklyn, New York on it.

 This on is labeled Victor Swenson below the photo but on the back it is labeled Gust Swenson, Victor Swenson's brother. The photo frame is labeled Erickson Photo Artist St. Paul. See photo below this one- we think they look like the same person, but maybe they were twins? or just looked very similar? Did he go by two names? were the photos labeled incorrectly?
 

 This photo is labeled Gust Swenson. The frame is labeled Shepherd, 27 East Seventh St., St. Paul, MN.

This is labeled Joe Filtsmeyer 1919. We were able to track down who we believe is the correct Joe.
We believe he is this Joe: Joe Filtsmeyer
The photo below this one we think Joe is on the left and possibly brothers of his in the photo with him?
The frame has no marks but the photo is stamped with a Charles H. Collins, St. Paul.

We believe Joe Filtsmeyer is on the left. The frame is labeled Geo. Coan 499 Wabasha, St. Paul, Minn.

 This one is labeled Emanuel. The frame says Algot Anderson, St. Paul.

This one is labeled Sallie. The frame is labeled The Hill Studio, St. Paul, Minn.

Possibly Haugen's from the Clarkfield, MN area

We are pretty confident these are Haugen's from the Clarkfield, MN area in these two photos. We believe they are Rasmus and Maline Haugen's grandchildren or great-grandchildren, with the possibility of one of two of Ramsus and Maline's children in the photo. Possible people in the photos: Sina and Christ Strand, Iver and Olina, Robert and Julia, Andrew, Abraham, Oline and Hans Strand. Of course there are probably grand-kids that I don't have all the names of yet, but will list once I get that research done. If you recognize anyone, please email us at: Email us

Iver Haugen's birthdays, 1957, 1958, 1960, Clarkfield, Minnesota (with other people from the area)

These photos are from Iver R. Haugen's birthdays. We decide to post these as they have others who lived in or near the Clarkfield area in MN. Also hoping to connect with some of the Haugen relatives. We have lots of photos of the Haugen's but have not been able to place many of the faces with names. If you are related to the Haugen's, we'd love to hear from you.

Unknown people who attended Henry Jacobson's 75th birthday party, 1958, Clarkfield, MN

This is a photo from Henry Jacobson's 75th birthday on 10-6-1958. The reason we are posting this is because there are so many people from the Clarkfield, MN area. Unfortunately the photo is a bit blurry- there's no fixing it as far as we know. We recognize quite a few people from the church photos in this photo but are unsure of their names.

Who we know for sure:
Henry and Emma Jacobson are third row up from the bottom above the dog. Mabel Danielson is third row up, third in from right.

To see the church photos, go here: Spring Creek Lutheran Church, Clarkfield, MN
