1937 Nykomna till Sverige eller kvar i USA?

Vilket fint foto på tvillingarna Else och Chris. 1937 står det att det är taget. De är födda 1924 så 13 år borde de vara. Vilket datum kom de. Ska ta reda på det. A nice photo of the twins Else and Chris. 1937. They are 13 yars old. What date did they arrive in Sweden? Must find that out.

A little sister is born

And her name is Stella (born 12/2-11)

Else and Folke married i Seglora, Skansen, Stockholm

You can read the date (14th of june 1943) and the name of the priest (Pabang) and they are happy to show it to me and my grandchildren when we asked.

The Homestead - grandfathers hotel

This is the Homestead when Christian Andersen was direktör (manager?) there. It is a large hotel. Sometimes my mother Else said that "daddy" didn´t have a lot of time for the children.

You can go there still . http://www.thehomestead.com/

I väntan på våren....

...sätter jag in llite andra foton innan jag har tillgång och ork och lust att fortsätta gå igenom mammas "lådor". My grandchildren Irma 8 months (above) and Tuva 11 and Elli 7. Angels.

I väntan på våren...

...knycker jag en bild från Hans Tekes fina släktblogg. This is Helge. My mother Else must have loved him since I can feel love for him when I look at this picture. Helge is my mother Elses uncle and extra dad since her dad died when Else was 8. And Helge was married to Anna, my grandmother Gretas sister. Anna, the very much loved extra-mother to Gretas children. But Helge is also my father Folkes uncle since Folkes father Sven and Helge were brothers. Is this complicated? No.

Spännande brev

Ett sparat brev från en vän till min farmor Agnes (gift med Sven Wennberg , bror till Helge bl a) från Bournemouth till Stockholm. På stämpelen står "Skadad vid eldsvåda ombord å ångaren "Newton" i Sunderland den 14 februari 1916". Det var många fartyg som träffades av minor eller sänktes av ubåtar - Fantastiskt att breven ändå kommer fram.
