Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Need your facial comparison skills. Same baby boy & woman 11 yrs later?

Thanks dansdottir!  The lighting may account for the chin difference.  A rare thing we do know is that is Ida in those 2 photos. :)

The group photo with the barefoot boy was taken in 1910.  The woman front row right is Ida.  Is Ida also the woman in the photo with baby on Heikki's knee, taken in 1898?  I know it is Heikki in both photos, age 38 and 50.

Does the baby on Heikki's knee look like the barefoot boy 11 years later?   Does the barefoot boy look like Ida, front row right?

The 3rd photo shows Ida with her adopted daughter in about 1911, for comparison. Kindly use your recognition skills.  Thank you!

If someone would like to attempt this group photo - the man in the back row, right side, has a heavily shaded face.  He is holding his adopted daughter.  Photo definitely taken in 1910, in Negaunee, MI,  as one family in photo arrived from Finland in spring 1910. Thank you.

The second one for comparison.

Caroline, thank you for restoring both photos - they are wonderful.  Will be much appreciated by their family, esp the wedding photo.

jim1- thank you.  Sounds like you are convinced the baby photo with family was taken before 1900, so it could be the estranged wife of Henry who traveled from Finland with her youngest son, Kalle, born in 1897 in Finland.  My cousin in Finland, however, says the mother was ill and didn't travel to America.  I'll look for travel records.

Thanks everyone - consensus is the baby in the bottom photo is a boy - I agree.
But that creates a new mystery - who is the woman?  Does it look like the same woman in both photos?  Need your discerning eyes! 

We know the identity of the woman and girl standing in the 1910 photo.  The girl is Hilma, born in 1908.  Hilma is standing with her aunt Ida, who adopted her after her mother died. 

Could Ida be the woman in both photos? One taken in 1898 or so, the other taken in 1910 or so? (Though I was told that Ida didn't arrive in USA until 1908 with Henry.)

This may have been a picture for her. His & her photos were common.

Please explain further about his and her photos.
