Slowly, we're building an online album of ancestor photos--YAY! Of the four members of Joseph & Franziska's clan to marry and have kids, we only have half to go...lol
This sweet photo had to be taken at the Janson farm in about 1912. I don't know if it was in Leaf River, Mn, or if they'd moved to New Munich by then. It's Mary and Sebastian with their first six kids (all boys) starting from the little one on the left: Fred b 1909, Henry b 1903, Raymond b 1906, John b 1896, baby Dick b 1910, and Joseph b 1901. Not born yet were Rose (1913), Dorothy (1916) and Alice (1920).
All these kids were mom's first cousins, but I only remember Dick, Dorothy and Alice. I suppose those three were really closer to mom's age, or maybe they were just the ones who stayed in Minnesota.

Another John Janson
Here's part of the census from 1920, Oak Township, Stearns County, Minnesota. The eldest of Sebastian's children was John, born in New York (adopted). In 1920, he was 24, and back on the farm.
This portrait, however, was sent in 1919 to his Uncle Eugen...
and here's the back of the postcard:
(The blue ink is mom's handwriting)
Does anyone know what happened to him?
