Norway Or Minnesota Families, do you know who we are?

The back of this photo reads ( in Norwegian); "Here is a photo of Inger and Oleane and you should have this." This photo was taken by A.C. Manz in Torah, Mn. Our contributor's research shows he worked as a photographer there in the early 1900's. This photo exists in our contributor's great grandfather's possessions as well as his youngest sister's in Norway. Nobody from our contributor's family; either in the US or Norway, can figure out who these women were.

If you know who this is, please contact us.
Please add your photo number for ease of identification.

Also you can find us on Facebook at ID A Photo or on Pinterest

Thank you and God Bless!
