Hello!

My name is Harry Sundgren, living in the Stockholm area in Sweden. I’m 65+ years old. I started to search for my roots about 3 years ago.

When I was searching for my father’s mother’s mother’s, broder’s and sister’s I found your page about Christina Andersdotter.

I do not know how you are related to Mats August Norlin or if you are interested to know more about his siblings.

My fm m was sister to Anders Mattson Norlin. They were 5 siblings

Greta 1831--1831; Anders 1832--; Anna 1834--; Brita 1837--, and Karin 1843. Karin is my fm m. The siblings had differenr Sir-names like, Matsson, Matsdotter, Matsson Norlin, Matsdotter Molin and Molin.

Anders had 7 children of which 2 died before 6 year of age. Mats August was the eldest, which you know all about. Then came Ann Christina born 1859, she had two children in the US, Frida Elisabeth Wikström married Gurholt and Anna Estella Wikström born 1891 married Nelson. Next is Catharina born 1861 married Modeen in the US. Anders Fredrik was next born 1867 married in the US with Nora Brathovde. The two youngest child died early.

Anna was married in Sweden but two of her children moving to the US, Lars Johan Björk born 1867 and Carl Gustaf Björk born 1871.

For the moment I do not know anything about Brita as she moved from the parish Åmot to the parish Ockelbo. The church in Ockelbo burnt down 1904 and all church books were destroyed.

From another researcher I have found ancestors back to 1642.

If you are interested, let me know and I can send you information.

Best Regards

Harry
