Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Can You Read it? (not one of mine...)
Nancy from the Gen-Newbie mailing list was having difficulty reading the back of this photograph, so I offered to post it here for her.
Anyone able to read it or having a guess can post a reply below.
It looks like Pil Johannes Olsen Louisa Jensdather BjorAneswald Maritvaldwald Nordalens (there is a Nordalen, Praestgjeld in Norway) further down Charles Henry Johnson Maritvaldwald Nordalens
It looks like Pil Johannes Olsen Louisa Jensdather Bjortneswald Nordalens (there is a Nordalens, Praestgjeld in Norway) further down- Charles Henry Johnson Maritvaldwald (not too sure of this one- but will look again) Nordalens hope this is of some use
the front was a photo of My g'father. I wonder if he was sending it to relatives in Norway. I think he may have had intentions of sending it to my g'mother's parents. I have a piece of paper, written by my mother, indicating that her mother's parents names were Johannes and Louisa. My g'moher used the name "Bjertness" when she immigrated.
It looks like
