Johanna Nygaard (1867-1931)is holding her son, Karl Johann Bratvold (1908-1992), on his christening day in 1909 in Nannestad, Akershus, Norway. Her daughters in the back are: Jonny Kristine Nygaard (1894-1980) and Anna Karoline Nygaard (1897-1925). Johanna is my great-grandmother. Her daughter, my grandmother - Berthe Marie Nygaard - left Norway for America in 1908 joining two older brothers, Lars & Ole Nygaard, already in America. Five of Johanna's 11 children left Norway to find a new life in America.
