R Birbeland, Delavan Mn from Burien Washington

Postcard sent December 24, 1908 to Mr. R. Birbeland, Delavan, MN. It was a 'happy Christmas' wish to him from a friend.
It is believed that the photo for the postcard was taken near Burien, Washington (south of Seattle) where extensive logging took place. Houses like these were sometimes built by realtors to promote an area of new housing.

Date & Place: 1908 in Burien, King County, Washington USA

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
