Bjorkman, Caroline, born 8 November, 1866

[Marjorie Mountainsong]

I would like to learn the names and birthdates of the siblings of Caroline Bjorkman, born 1866-11-8, probably in Gissjo, Torp Parish.  I believe she had at least three siblings, Anna Brita, born 1856, month and day unknown; Erik Andreas, born 1854-11-11; and Marta Cajsa born perhaps in 1862.  Also, I would like to know the name and birthdate of the father of these individuals.
 
Thank you,
Marjorie Mountainsong

Hi Johnny,
 
Thank you for all the family information.  Although the birthdate is not an exact match, I believe this is the same Caroline.  She married Andrew J. Ostrom (spelled with a capital A with a little circle above it and the o with the dots)on April 16, 1892 in Pine City, Minnesota, USA and died March 27, 1945 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, USA.
