Remember -- The starting-point for the
letters in this list are the parents of Andrew. The letters start from
Anders and his brothers and sisters. For each generation after them a letter is
added. The children are given a letter in alphabetic order (A=first born,
B=second born…). A boy gets an upper-case letter (A) and a girl a lower-case
one (a)
The following are my generation's Great-Great-Grandparents and their children:

| Rexbo during late summer, early autumn |

| Old homes or possibly cabins? |

| The orange pointer is where Rexbo is located in Dalarna, Sweden
This looks like it could be located anywhere in Florence County in Wisconsin, or in the Upper Peninsula, doesn't it?

When I was a little girl, I was told the family name in Sweden was Olson, and then after my parents started visiting relatives in Sweden I was told that the family name was actually Anderson. Now I have discovered that both are correct -- in Sweden our great-grandfather's name was Anders Andersson, and our great-great-grandfather's name was Anders Olsson! And Stadigs that I found on the names prior to this meant they were born in the same house.....
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Lisbeth -- I have learned so much from the information you sent!
I am glad that I could bring some information to you.
DeleteIt is very interesting and exciting to find out that there is a lot of relatives on the other side of the ocean. And here one can read about who they where/are and see pictures of them. It is fantastic, a new world...
Hi, Lisbeth! I am so happy with the new information. I am hoping that with this blog, as many of the relatives who can find this information will be able to pass it on to those who come after us. It's quite a family story we are putting together with the help of many in the family! Thank you again.
