< but I will try to navigate without speaking/ reading Norsk. (please answer however you like; I'll find a translator here.)
I need ask a general Question about my hopes to find a photo of my great-grand-mother, in Levanger, N-Tr sometime before she died too young in 1890. How can I learn what "basic family photo traditions" were then, there? We DO have studio {solo} pics of each of her two daughters as toddlers (photos circa 1895, 1889) and I have YAY
very recently found through relatives a photo of her husband (oldefar Johan Odin Jorgensen, 41, when he as widow remarried in 1892) - - so now I would BIG-TIME LOVE to show my Mom here (age 93) any photo of her mormor Laura Rebekka LIE (fodt 1847, Haaa gaard; m. Jorgensen) . (One of her toddlers when grown, emigrated in 1909 -- and the subsequent descendants are in Midwest USA).
SO -- even if the family were poor {and they were}, SINCE there were these two {solo} studio photos made of the little girls,, Wouldn't We Think that the Mother was also photographed? or did poorer families only have the Child photo-documented? IS THERE A NORD-TRONDELAG "old photo depository" or any Levanger photo-Historians? [I have "run dry" with relations-requests about this photo Hope.] Can anyone advise me please?

THIS posting should've been put in the Stordal/ Verdal district, ja? (Not Inderoey.) How can I switch it to that location in DIS Forum?
