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




Two unknown girls from the Clarkfield, MN area.

These two girls are unknown at this time. The post card was sent to Hannah Gunderson (Hannah's name was spelled incorrectly- "Hanna", with no names but Hannah's. They are very likely from the Clarkfield, MN area.

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
