The above photo is very significant as it shows a number of the emigrants from both the Paulson and the Thingelstad branches. Also it is the oldest family photo known. In the back are Kari Paulson, Knut Paulson, Anna Bakken, Sophie Johnson, Kari Guttormsdatter Paulson Hovland, Grena Paulson Knudtson and her daugher. In the front row are Paul C. Paulson (youngest son of Mikkel), Turine Paulson (daughter of Knut and Kari), Mikkel Paulson, Turi Paulson (who married Hans Olaus Thingelstad - Eli's son) and Bent Thingelstad (Hans' brother). Taken in 1887, Northwood.
