Krans Reunion

This is the Krans reunion picture that should have had me in it. It happened the day after I returned from Sweden in late September. I would have loved to have been there with them, but I had jet lag instead and couldn't make the drive from St. Paul to just outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

It's so much fun finding more and more information about our heritage!

Sweden

Riana and I took our very first trip to Sweden in Sweden. I haven't posted anything about it because life has been hectic and Christmas is coming far too fast. I am hoping to work on sharing more of our trip in January.  

I would like to share one photo, however.  This is one of Riana and Anna, distant cousins, who didn't meet until this night, one from the United States and one from Sweden, and formed an instant bond. One dark with hazel eyes, one blond and blue eyes, both with the same facial structure, same nose, same eye shape, and the same smile. Anna is a descendant of the Lundwall family, from Margareta -- Oscar's mother. 

For the Readers
