Henry Kringsberg


This photo is labeled "Henry and Mary Kringsberg, my grandparents" 
by Myrtle (in her handwriting).  Trying to determine 
when and where this was taken.  Mary died in 1888.  She had six children: 
 Mary (1877) Henrik August (1879) Johannes (1881) 
Anna (1883) Elin (1885) and Carl (1887 in Alvarado).   
I believe this is a girl in the photo.  How old do you think she is?  
They immigrated in 1886.  
So was this taken in Sweden before they crossed over?  
And why aren't any other children in the photo?  
Why is his hand in his vest?   
So many things to ponder in just one photo! 

My best guess, this photo was taken in Sweden aprox 1882
