My father's brother and my grandfather claimed that this photo was taken at my grandfather's father's confirmation in 1883. I myself, however had a little doubt, because I think the photo might be older, and my great-great-grandparents younger. In that case, the boy must be an older brother to my great-grandfather, Johan Henrik Ludvig Rau Hansen. But when I check out his siblings, it turns out that only the oldest brother lived till he was 11 years old, then he died from measels. The other brothers died as babies or small infants. The photo cannot be of the oldest brother, Lars, because he died already in 1861, and his parents would be much too young then to look like this on the photo. So my conclusion is, that the boy could in fact only be my great-grandfather, just as my grandfather and uncle said it was.
