The following is a photo of the Gilbert ANDERSEN/ANDERSON Farm (about fall of 1905) in Sawyer, Town of Sturgeon Bay (city of Sturgeon Bay today-2010) that was shared to the PGS by Diane CALHOUN on 8 Sep 2010.  Her grandmother is Mable (ANDERSON/ANDERSEN)  RUSSELL is the Norwegian side of her family in Door County. To see the siblings names, go below.  Mable, however is next to her mother, Anne "Dorthea" (SIMONSEN/SIMPSON) ANDERSEN/ANDERSON, on the right of her as you are looking at the picture below.

 

There is also a GIGSTAD/GIGSTEAD connection in this picture-one of the ANDERSEN/ANDERSON siblings in this picture (Esther) married Albert GIGSTAD/GIGSTEAD and their daughter is being held by her in this picture!  See PGS Serendipity and GIGSTAD/GIGSTEAD Family Pages on this PGS Website!
