Jonas and Karin Vik were born in Hammerdal, Sweden 1834 and 1839. They immigrated to America from Sweden in 1889, together with there five children, Andrew (Anders) b 1869, Christine (Kerstin) b 1872, John (Jonas) b 1875, Peter (Per) b 1877 and Erik (Erik) b 1880.
They settled down on a farm south of Halma.

In the middle of 1890´s immigrated Jonas Vik´s sister Christine (Kerstin) with her husband Johan and three children Christine (Kerstin) b 1873, Anna b 1878 and Ole (Olof) b 1886. They were all from Hammerdal, Sweden.

I have found some information about these familys here on rootsweb
http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.vik/17/mb.ashx

But I wonder what happend with the Vik´s children Christine, Peter and Erik. Does anyone know?
And what happpend to Anna and Ole Olson?

I hope for some answers!

Regards Camilla in Sweden, a long distans relative for these familys.
