Photo Number 2000

Well we made it to 2,000 photos.  To date 232 photos have been returned to relatives.  That is better than 10% so I am pleased with that! 
I wish to thank all the researchers for their help, without their expertise this blog would not exist.
So lets have a virtual cake along with Gramps.

I bet the name is Engelbretson/Engelbretsen?? Engebretsen.  Engebretson
Sis Olson may have had this photo in her collection. (Shirley Tovson Olson  or Sis)
Might just be a Grandpa with some of his grandchildren…or the neighbor kids came to celebrate!
Thanks for stopping by!

Info from an obit from Sallysmom:
Toots, Arthur with Dick Tovson  = Toots was Hazel Klomstad before she married Arthur Tovson. 

Dick was born in 1930 so this photo is probably from 1932-1933
I have had some of these people before.  I have the wedding photo of Dick and Dolly Tovson and two photographs of Toots/Hazel Klomstad's Mother and siblings.  Photos 1589 and 1565

Info from Dr Jeff
That's Engebretsen. A common name here in Norway :)

  6. Congrats on 2,000 photos! Even better, kudos on your better than ten percent average. You have made a lot of people happy!

    Your project is infectious. When I was down in Florida, I almost stopped in some antique stores in the wild-goose-chase hope that maybe, just maybe, someone would have turned in some photographs from my family. But nothing was open. That place closes up when it's not the tourist season...
