Thanks, Bo. I am sure that it was taken earlier than 1899. I'll try to figure out how to post it. I have three other photos that were taken in Sweden that I should also post. Two are identified but the third is not. I suspect it might be my great-grandfather's mother. Maybe someone else has a copy that is identified. I have no idea who these children might be since one branch of my family came from Skörstorp in Skaraborg and the other from Köla in Värmland. There was a step-mother who was from Västre Fågelvik, Värmland. Her emigration records listed her residence as Bohuslän. Lindesberg just doesn't seem to fit with any of these. I guess I need to track the siblings who stayed in Sweden.
