Ett varmt tack även Du Helge!
Jag gissar att min amerikanske vän skulle bli överlycklig att få Dina uppgifter om sina anor! Hans ana är ovan nämnde Oskar Sannfrid Karlsson. Så här skriver han:
My great-grandfather was: Oscar Sanford Brink (Oskar Sannfrid Karlsson - changed name to Brink in Sweden)born August 8, 1875 in Larv socken, Vara, Sweden
His father: Karl Persson Brink born August 3, 1848 in Längjum socken, Vara, Sweden Oskar's mother: Inga Kasja Andersdotter (she was married before to Johannes Nilsson) born November 3, 1833 in Malmene Frälsem gård, Larv socken, Vara, Sweden
They were married: April 19, 1872
3 children:
Franz Evald Karlsson - b. October 3, 1873 Oskar Sannfrid Karlsson - b. August 8, 1875 Otto Anselm Karlsson - b. April 17, 1877
I do not know anything further back than Karl Persson Brink - he was supposedly a Captain in the Swedish army at a camp, called Camp Brink and took this name. My Brink family has been a mystery!
