Naming Johannes' sons and daughters, I think

Two Janson families arrived in Buckman, Minnesota in 1883.  One couple was Joseph and Franziska Janson, my great grandparents.  The other was Joseph's cousin Johannes and his wife Mary Janson. 
Michael Janson, Johannes' eldest, married Antonia Hurdt in 1906.  This photo was taken 50 years later, in 1956, at their Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration, when all the sibs were home.  I'm pretty sure about most of the IDs, but then I was comparing faces with the oval family portrait, and considering Carrie's opinions, too.  See what you think:
