Hi:
Well Erik, yes we are related...if you are descended from Erik Hjort born (fodd) March 1816, then we are for sure. Erik was the oldest brother of my great-great grandfather Lars Gustave. I have much information on Erik, his first wife and their children's names, his second wife and their children, and some connections in the U.S.
Please write soon and let me know your information, where you live, how old are you? I have the entire line almost finished. Erik never came here. Lars Gustave's line, my line, was the only sibling of seven to leave Sweden. If you have information to share, please know I will be interested. I have been wriitng a book on the Hjort family for 3 years and hope to be finished next year. Complete with our line of photos of each family.
We live in Wisconsin. I am 57, married, our daughter is expecting her second child as I write. If we are out of town please be patient. I will get back to you....Write to me personally....Thanks...Mel
