RESTORE-Old Norwegian family photo probably from Trondheim in 1800s
« on: Tuesday 08 October 19 19:57 BST (UK) »
I found this photo in my mother's old family album after she died. There are no identifying notes but my 2nd great grandfather was Paul Paulsen who was born in 1819 and died in Trondheim on 25th May 1884. That may be him with the long beard. He had nine children, the oldest having been born in 1843 and 1846, but I'm thinking the photo is more recent than that.
Any help with dating this image and restoring this would be very much appreciated. I realise it's a real challenge.
Thanks
Richard  :-\

Hi Richard...I agree with Jim. You might want to amend the title of your post to include a restore, that will bring it to the attention of the restorers.

Thank you Japeflakes. That does look like Paul Paulsen with the beard now.

It would certainly help to have a higher resolution scan, but I see the restrictions of the forum.

Thanks very much for your time and expertise Jan and Pat.
Yes. The 500 kb limit on images is restrictive. I do have a larger resolution scan.
We certainly have made some progress on a badly damaged image.
