Discussion: Photo in frame from Fritz Studios in Iowa: This picture was found on arkiv.dk and was originally marked as Peter Rasmussen, 1900-1930. The frame is from a photographer in Iowa, where Peter C Rasmussen's wife's parents lived. Because of the frame, I do not believe that this is an older picture of Peder Rasmussen (b1849) who emigrated from Denmark.
