Hi Britt-marie:
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the information that you have found for me.
First I should ask - what does Croft S B?E page 330 mean? Do I need to know? I am not that good on computer yet.
Secondly, Do you know why the father refused to let the three youngest children be christened?
I would love if you would search as farback as much as you can for Jonas Anna-Brita.
I was in Sweden only one time, that was almost 38 years ago. I was 6 years old and my father Stig Jonsson, born in Njurunda, was stationed in Paris, France. He was in the Air Force. My mother took us 3 children to visit people in Sweden. But do not remember anything. I do not believe Jonas August ever left Sweden. My father mother came to America.
I would love if you could find relatives of my mother. I do know that she had a half-brother - BoUno Sjolen. I called him in Sweden when my mother passed away - but he does not speak American I do not speak Swedish. The only thing I think he understood was that my mother died. I would love to write to him but do not know how in Swedish. I tried to find an E-Mail address for him but had no luck. Because if I would send E-Mail, I could use the Swedish/English dictionary to help me.
Any help would be great. I have a 16 year old daughter in 11th grade. When she graduates turns 18 (August 22, 2002), I hope to visit Sweden as soon as possible.
Please write back soon.
Thank you again,
Susan Palm
