New Year's Greetings from Beautiful Seattle

Celebrate history-

it's a part of you

Seattle celebrates BIG

What did 2007 mean to the Seattle area, and to Washington State?

What about 1907?

Take a look at Washington State's online history website, HistoryLink.org for "This Week Then" articles (currently hightlighting 12/21/2007-1/3/2008).

See what's been happening in the great Pacific Northwest.

HistoryLink.org "is the first online encyclopedia of local and state history created expressly for the Internet."

Wishing you peace and joy in 2008

This Victorian-era cabinet card photograph album had a lovely crimson velvet cover under the brass trim and clasp before it faded due to exposure and time. The album was owned by my great grandparents, Ole Martin and Malla Johnson, of Leonard Minnesota, both of whom died in 1948. Like many folks who knew their family and friends well, they did not take the time to mark who was in the images. As a result, there are many faces among the following family names to be indentifed: Basgaard, Johnson, Larson, Pederson/Peterson (Stallen, or Stalin), Strand, and more.
