...and the Finnish names

Well, the sun made my day...I have a lot of gravel in my driveway...it shall not be there...but in my garden...I'm making me a sunny spot!

...this stone...this fantastic memorial stone with the 423 (I think) family names...

My grandparents DNA says that I am a descendant of thoose from Finland who came to Sweden and Norway for about 400 years ago. Two of the family names that comes along in my genealogy are Havuinen and Lehmoinen. You see the names on the right side of the picture.

Theese two pictures or maps says where I am from...kind of!  The first one is my grandmother Mimis map...the second one is my grandfather Einars map.

...it's a tiny little bit scary...that a "q-tip" in my mouth...can see where I am from...fantastic...enjoy your day...

Last Night Was Halloween

Happy Halloween!  It's Sunday and the weather is grey.....it's snowing soon - and I don't like that at all!  Nichlasen is spending the week-end in Oslo - some party going on - enjoy!

In June 2006 was the first time I wrote a missing people link at DIS Norge - looking for Lina Dorthinusdaughter and her family in The USA.  This summer I found Lina - and her American Family - lucky me! 

Lina married - I don't know when or were - John Goldberg from Sweden, born 1858.  John went to Sweden, without Lina, late 1915 - 1919, I think, visiting old family.  Unfortunately he died during his visit and was burried at this grave yard.  

So my questions are - where in Sweden is this beautiful church and are there anyone out there that have some information about John Goldberg?  I sure would be glad!

Thank you Jennifer for letting me have this picture!

October just passed away - I'm like the bear - spending next month in a lair, waking up in December. 

Ha a wonderful Fall - and thanks for reading my blog - enjoy life!
