Skrivet av: Rolf Staples skrivet 2000-02-28, 02:38
Hello,
Please forgive my lack of swedish. I am looking for the family of my grandmother,Gertrude Wiik or Vik of Orebo.
I do not know when she was born but she came to the USA at a young age and married my grandfather,Albert Stadig in Cambridge,Massachusetts on December,11,1911.
I would assume that she might have been born around 1880?
My mother and I would appreciate any information on her family.
Thank you very much.
