Hello, I'm an American of Norwegian descent and I was wondering if Anne is wearing some sort of cultural garment in this photo. Anne is one of my ancestors who was born in Norway and immigrated to North Dakota around the late 19th century. She was a Lutheran so could she be wearing a religious head scarf?

  1. I would say it is more cultural than religious. Headgarments was quite closely linked to marriage status. Still is according to Bunadspolitiet, but it is not taken all that seriously by most these days.
