A beautiful old 19th century CDV image of a young man about 25 years old. He wears a black suit and tie, with a flower and gold pocketwatch fob at his chest. There are many immigrants from Denmark in this area, as well as many with the Nielsen surname.

Please see Yürgen or Jorgen Nielsen family photo found with this photo #1070 HERE, both clearly marked as taken in Olivia, Renville, Minnesota.

Could this be a wedding photo of a young groom? Found in Nashua, New Hampshire in Hillsborough County, he may have New England roots. We assume he may be related to other Danish / Denmark Nielsen family found in Renville County. A beautiful portrait and beautiful piece.

     Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
