Peter Trulson Swenson and Kjersti Nilson Family

Ironically, I find it interesting that this picture was first sent out to the extended family in an e-mail on 5 June 2008, exactly 103 years to the day that it was taken - 5 June 1905.

Front L - R: Martha Swenson Richards, Kjersti Nilson Swenson, Peter (Pehr) Truson Swenson, Hannah Swenson Rowan.

Back L - R: Andrew Swenson, Mary Swenson Parker, Ellen Swenson Pearson (my great grandmother), Niels (Nils Per) Swenson, Annie (Anna) Swenson Jelta (Hjelte), Maggie Swenson Parker.

Photo taken by "Alseen - 69 E 2nd South - Salt Lake".

Many thanks for Lane Rasmussen's labeling of everyone in this photo - as well as for the photographer credits.

I will post the e-mail discussion of this picture as an 'anonymous' comment as it was not me that was discussing it. The discussion comments were by Lane Rasmussen, Mark Peterson, and Lon Pearson. In order to view the comments, either click on the title of this post and it will pull up just this post and its comments, or click on the 'comments' link below and a pop- up window will appear with all the comments from the first e-mail I received, which was discussing this photo. I find the pop-up window helpful because then I can move it to be right next to the picture so that I can read all the comments as I look over at the picture.
