No info on back of photo. Dad thinks this is the Jonas Pehrsson family. Let's assume that is true as it would be reasonable for Erick to have a photo of the family he was a son in. If so, then the youngest child (seated on mother) would be Olaf Noren born in 1874. This dates the photo to about 1876. The father seated on left is Jonas Pehrsson and the mother seated on right is Christina Momqvist. The family has three daughters and they would be Katarina age 4 in middle front. Britta age 11 is standing just above her younger sister. Marta age 18 is upper right. We now have a problem. There is one extra male in the photo. They had 6 sons and there are 7 young males in the photo. However, farm families often had a extra people living with them. Perhaps to help on the farm. Maybe even some relative of the family. Assume they have an extra male who is probably not a young kid. This leaves the young boy with his father to be Lars age 9. Dad believes John Ljung is the boy in the center (standing next to his sister Britta). He is 16 years. Dad believes Erick is just left of John in the photo. Erick is14 years old. That leaves three taller males in the back row. Included would be Per age 24 and Johannes age 21. To me, the boy in the middle of the three bears some resemblance to the person in ZL7 012 which might also be Per. If so, Johannes would be the upper left male, leaving the upper right male as the "extra" male. See also 1894 photo of family (ZL7 023) 1876

Dad's note about previous photo ZL7 023. Dad is mistaken about Per Bostrom. He is the oldest son, not youngest.
