At first I thought that your family must have been well off, but then I realized that the pictures were probably taken at the local hotel. On the back of one it says that "the plate is kept for subsequent orders". It would be interesting to see if the local museum has those old plates... As for life in Frederikshavn 100 years ago, it was fairly tough. The main industry was (and is) fishing in the North Sea, the climate is rough, and it has traditionally been one of the poorer areas of the country. I grew up in Århus, further south in Jutland, but have always loved the northern Jutland area.
