Tyra Norgren

I don't like to spoil the party however the photo you've attached is early 1890's when she would have been a baby.

How do you know that it is early 1890s?

[jim1]

The style of dress with the raised shoulder was called a kick-up. It was a short lived creation & superseded by the more familiar Gigot. So a date range of 1889-93 & I suspect the latter of those dates.
Her hair is also of the period.
You won't see any woman dressed like this or have her hair like this in the 1900's.

jim1,

Absolutely correct! I have consulted an expert in female fashion, and she agrees with you completely.
So now we have a mystery. Who is this woman on the photo. We know that Tyra ordered copies from the photographer in Gävle. Furthermore, there is another photo. With a mysterious handsome man,

Could it be her mother.

[TomJonas]

It is possible. We know quite a lot about her parents, but have absolutely no photo of them. Her father died in difteria 1899.

Hi TomJonas
A longshot here but there are many photos from Gävle here at "Porträttfynd" from different photographers. Some with names some without:

Ian,

Thanks for your tip.
But no luck, none of the man and woman in our photos were there.
