Dear readers,
Göran's daughter #2, Anna Charlotta with family (the Johansson's)
Ingelstad is situated about 20 kilometers from Hovdinge, in these days of 1887 in the parish of Berga, but in 2008 in the parish of Vittaryd. Here is the church of Berga, built in 1821.
At this cemetary at Berga Church my secretary found the marker of the resting place for my daughter Anna Charlotta and her husband Sven-Gustav Johansson. But that is to go to far ahead, let us first concentrate on their life together. They married as I told you earlier, in 1881. Here is a picture of the handsome man my daughter chose:
In 1887 Sven-Gustav is 30 years old and Anna Charlotta is 29. They have two sons and one daughter and will stay in Sweden some more years before emigrating to America.
Son #1 was born in 1882, 15th April, and is by now five years old. He is called Johan Gottfrid and was born at the Johan's farm in Ingelstad in the parish of Berga. This is what he looked like on a later family photo.
In 1884, 1st of July, a daughter was born. She is a girl of three in 1887. Her name is Karin Esmina Elisabeth which later in her new country will be anglicized into Carrie.
Son # 3 was born 21st August 1886 in Ingelstad. He was given the name Joseph Gustav Efraim Svensson. Being the only sibling staying in Sweden when the rest was emigrating with their parents he never had to change his name. In the year of 1887 he was only one years old. Picture below!
Believe it or not, you can help me count, but I think I have 18 grandkids by now! Yours sincerely, Göran Danielsson.
