The 3 oldest boys are Kristen´s children from his 1st marriage.
Picture from between 1905-1910 as Jensine died on her birthday, 31st of January, in 1910. And please note that Nels, top row to the right, was in the USA from 1905-1910. How can he be on the picture? Maybe one of the first photoshop-activity in history.... You can quite easily see that he was added later. All 4 boys immigrated to the USA. Nels twice as he went back to the USA in 1923 bringing his wife Thora and their daughter Karen Marie.SS Lusitania
