Figure 1.-- Here we see an unidentified rural Finnish family in 1914 (figure 1). Given how they are dressed, it would have been probably taken just before World War I broke out. We are not sure how to view the family. Dad apparently built the home, albeit it is a solid struycture. Motice they have noy briught out any farm animals to include in the portrait. Thst may mean that they do not have a cow which may mean the family is not very properous. They lived in central Finland. We do not have the family name, but we see Olli, Hanna and their 10 children. Looking at their ages we can think that someone more will be born later. With the family lived Kalle, Olli's brother. The children are dressed simply, but look rather modern looking for 1914.
