Do you recognize this man?

Does anyone know who this man is? The picture is taken in Skara, Sweden, the year is 1892. He was probably a soldier at the "Skånska husarregementet" in the south of Sweden. In 1891/92 he should have been placed at Axevalla not far from Skara.

By publishing the genealogy on the internet I have come in contact with relatives I didn't know before and other genealogists that have been a great help to me. It has given me a lot in return! Specially fun is the contact with my 4th cousin Lori Callaway from the US. She was looking for her Swedish family and found my web page in 2005. It wasn't enough that we were indeed related and 4th cousins, we reunited the family, we became best friends then sisters.

If you find any common relatives, I would be happy to hear from you.
