Tiny photographs, curling, barely identifiable people, places that were roots to the emigrant family that left a long time ago: ours -- Philip Wilhelm Widing. If there is an archive at the Boxholm Library, or elsewhere, these may fill in some other views. Family resemblances: the current crop of Widings look very much like these. Strong roots.
Are some from Anna Osterlund Widing's family's home, at Kinnekulle? The church steeple below looks like it is Husaby, at Kinnekulle. Is the lake here the nearby Lake Vanern? We do not seem to have seen Ekeby, where we now understand there are Widings buried.
This looks like our photo of Husaby Kyrke, at Kinnekulle. So, some of these photos may well not be Boxholm, but the Kinnekulle area. Families, label your pictures.
Note to self. Take church pictures full front with steeple. Every time.
The sudden plateau does not look like Boxholm.

Is that Hans Widing, Farfar, on the left?
Traditional dress on the right. Who is that with Anna, on the right? Not enough beard to be Farfar, or Hans Widing.
Flood? Vanern? Whose home? Sweden, Boxholm - Kinnekulle trip 1920's - 1930's
