My brother

Hello,
I'm back,
with news from my heaven. Today I must tell you about my brother Elias. Earlier on I said that my secretary did not know for sure what happened to my brother. Well, with the help of KGF, that is the genealogy society here in our district Kronoberg she found on their CD church records some interesting news today.

Elias Danielsson, my little brother, born in Göteryd, married a lady from Domaryd in the parish of Berga nearby Ljungby, on 31st October 1846 in the church of Berga.

• In 1847, 3rd September their first child was born - a girl by the name of Johanna Kristina Elisdotter. When she was christened a couple of days later my sister Anna-Greta Danielsdotter was one of the godmothers.
• In 1850, 1st May their second child was born - also a girl. They called her Anna Maria Elisdotter and I remember it very well. You see, I was there! I was one of the godfathers.

And then I realized that I lived in the parish of Kånna some years up to 1851 with my family because it said so in the church books. That was a good thing to be reminded of, my secretary tells me. I had not told her before. So I had to admit that my oldest kids Oscar, born 1846 and August, born 1850 were both baptized in the church of Kånna. So there are still some secrets about me to reveal. That is why she spends time with me. She likes to be a detective. She is going to continue trying to find out what happened to those girls, Johanna Kristina and Anna Maria.

Good night, we rest here in heaven too,
Göran Danielsson.
