    Thanks for the posting. I always wondered about the place my grandmother left behind to come to America at the turn of the last century.

    Thanks for the Gotland photos in particular; my great-grandparents came over to the United States from Gotland around the time these photos were taken. This is a wonderful historical record; thanks for sharing it on Flickr! :)

    I tried to get hold of a similar position as Carl but it was not possible. But the house is the same!
