Cecilia Ek b. 1867 in Arkelstorp, Sweden married Charles John Wiklund(b. 1864 in Langshyttan, Dalarna, Sweden)in Colorado. I believe Cecilia had brothers and sister here in Kansas and stayed with them when she first came to US. Sister possibly Betty? Looking for Ek parents' names and any other siblings. Charles Cecilia had 3 children, Albert George, Elvira Cecilia (my grandmother) and Gladys Ruth.

I received new info that ggrandmother Cecilia's name in Sweden was Sissa. Sister Betty (Bengta) b. 1875, brother Sven b.1862, brother Nils b.1864, brother Anders b. 1870 all settled in McPherson,KS. They were from Oppmanna parish. Any info on Anders? Also, I remember my grandmother saying there were 9 children in all. Any info on other siblings?

I'm sorry, but these names do not connect with my family. Since my last post, I have been able to find the siblings and parents for my ggrandmother. Good luck to you!
