Click here to view photo of Ellen [Youngquist] Christensen and her mother, Bessie Youngquist. (Updated information on this photo comes from Pat Tranter - the young toddler is her mother, Rosie E. Nielsen, and and the young lady is her grandmother, May [Christensen] Neilsen. And as identified above, her great-grandmother is Ellen [Youngquist] Christensen, and her great-great-grandmother Bessie Youngquist. Since her mother(the toddler) was born April 19, 1910, we guess that the date of the photo to be circa 1911. Thanks Pat!)
