• Farsund, Norway
• Klungeland farm

• Sopie Marie Olsdatter (1852-1924) of Farsund, Norway. She is the wife of Captain Sigvard Nilsen (1852-1906). The postcard is from her.
• Salmine Sophia Severine Pedersen (1862-1914) of Jersey City, New Jersey. She is the wife of John Edward Winblad (1856-1914). The postcard is to her.
• Lena Olson (1860-1938) of Farsund, Norway. She is the wife of Andrew Havig Jensen (1861-1930).
• Inga Karoline Eldora Pedersen (1882-1927) of Farsund, Norway. She is the wife of Emil August Schneider (1886-1955).
• Marie Heline Baerentsdatter (1897-?) of Klungeland.

Lutherans are confirmed at age fourteen, which will date the letter more accurately once the birth year for Marie Klungeland is determined. There is no postmark so the postcard must have been hand delivered or included in a larger package. The 1900 Norway census for Klungeland farm lists Marie H. Bærentsdatter (1897-?), who was born in Herad. This dates the postcard to 1911.
