My mother was Edith DeMaris (Ellison) and her mother was Ellen Ellison (Wedin) and her mother was Caroline Wedin (Tjader).
Caroline Tjader is the dead end in my search. Her father was John Tjader or Grantsburg WI.
I have an old Swedish Bible with the following information in it:
John Wedin came to America in May 1880 and married Caroline Thjader (Tjader?) in spring 1882 in Grantsburg, Wisconsin. Caroline died on 14 Nov 1889 after giving birth to Ellen.
Caroline and Johns children were:
Emily Bertha Wedin 20 Dec 1882 and she died 11 Nov 1960
Fred Wedin 19 Dec 1884 and he died 8 Nov 1935
Emil Wedin 13 Jan 1887 and he died 15 Jan 1975
Ellen Wedin 27 Jan 1889 and she died Nov 1978.
That is about the extent of the information I have on the Tjaders. Anything that you would be willing to help me with would be greatly appreciated.
