Unknown people from Clarkfield, MN. Larson, Haugen, or Gunderson.

 These photos are likely all from the Clarkfield, MN area. They were in Minnie Larson's photo book. She passed away in 1940. We feel confident these are Larson's, Haugen's, or Gunderson's from the Clarkfield area. Do you recognize anyone? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

 The two photos above are likely Larson's. They were next to other Larson's that we could identify.

 The photo above-Ben Gunderson on right, Pretty positive Gurina Gunderson is on the left, others unknown

 

The photo above we believe are Haugen's. We have other photos with some of these people in it. We can tell Gunderson's and Larson's pretty well, hence why we feel these are Haugen's.  If you are from the Haugen line, we'd love to connect with you as we have many other photos.

We think this photo are Haugen's as well.









































Likely Larson's.

Larson & Tinderholt, Norway, Iowa, Minnesota

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2017:
Been in contact with a Larson family member (not sure if I can say her name- have to ask), but want to say she says this is Peter's brother and his family. The photo was labeled Hans Larson in pencil (not Arden's writing, which is who we inherited the photo from, so unknown source of the writing). So you will have to be the judge as to who is in this photo.

Original post below:
Some people in the photo we can identify, others we can't. Be warned the story that goes with this family may be difficult to read.
Who we can identify in the photo: Hans Peter Larson is the child in front in the middle standing, next to him is his father Peter Larson Tinderholt, to the other side of Hans is his mother Marie Larson, and his sister, Anna Marie Larson, is sitting in the mom's lap.
We are unsure of the remainder of the people in the photo- possibly Peter's siblings or other relatives. We do not know about Marie's relatives. This photo would have been taken around 1867, about a year prior to Anna's death at the hands of her father (He beat her to death). After Anna's death, Marie divorced Peter. This photo would have been taken in Ossian, Winneshiek, Iowa, United States as that is where the family was living at the time.
As for the different last names, some records indicated the last name is Larson, while others indicate Tinderholt, or a combo of Larson Tinderholt. Per our written history (the Larson's), all of Peter's children took the last name Larson.

1) (Above) We are pretty sure these two photos are of the same baby (unknown name), highly likely from Clarkfield, MN and highly likely a Larson, Gunderson, or Haugen. If we had to guess, based on evidence from our personal researching, the baby is a Larson. Unfortunately the one photo has a tear on it, we did the best we could with scanning. Feel free to let us know if you think these are not the same baby. The frames were similar.

This young gentleman is likely someone from Clarkfield, MN. This photo was with other photos from Clarkfield, MN and from our family who lived in Clarkfield the majority of their lives.
