BACK TO THE HOMELAND


The 3 Oscarson cousins, John, Gary and Paul.

The home where Grandpa Gustav Emil Oscarson was raised. More than one family lived in this house at once.

The school that Gustav Emil attended, which is right down a steep hill from the house.

Grandpa Oscarson lived here when he left for the US. He returned to this house to teach his mother when he returned to Sweden on his mission. There were 4 separate living areas in this house.

At the grave of great-grandpa, Carl Peter Åkerlind.

The church both families attended. I love this picture and we want to get it framed. Grandma talked about walking 6-7 miles to church.

The school grandma attended. A family lives here, but has preserved the left side classroom.

The home where Grandma Lousia Wilhelmina Åkerlind was raised. As you can tell it has been updated, but is the house that Aunt Dora has a wonderful painting of.

This castle was home of someone's ancestors, but not ours.
The Swedes decorate trees with colorful feathers for Easter.

Glad påsk! Happy Easter! After our Easter meal with the Johansons and Oscarsons.
