Finnestad Ancestry

Here is a photo* from 1962 of Ole and Mari Finnestad's granddaughter, Evelyn (Finnestad) Richardson. Evelyn (Carrie) was the daughter of Caroline (Quitno) and Ole Finnestad Jr. * Photo provided by Ole and Mari Finnestad's great great granddaughter, Jill (McKay) Clinton. 

Here is a photo* of sisters, Evelyn (Finnestad) Richardson and Frances (Finnestad) Svetica - December 24, 1960. * Photos provided by Ole and Mari Finnestad's great great granddaughter, Jill (McKay) Clinton.

Here is a photo * of Evelyn ('Carrie' or Caroline) Finnestad probably taken around 1920. Here is a photo* of Charles Alexander Richardson, probably taken around 1917. (I'm guessing as to the year based upon what looks like a uniform - he served in WW I.) Evelyn Finnestad and Charles Richardson were married March 28, 1922. * Photos provided by Ole and Mari Finnestad's great great granddaughter, Jill (McKay) Clinton.

In 1920, Ole and Mari's granddaughter, Evelyn was living as a "helper" in the Havenhill (?) residence at East South Street, in the city of DeKalb, DeKalb township, DeKalb County, Illinois. Evelyn was 22 at the time of the census. It would be two more years before Evelyn married and had a family of her own.
