Johan Fredrik Johansson Sköld

[Harald Hille]

Asking for help in tracing some relatives:Johan Fredrik Johansson Sköld, possibly born in 1876, not sure where in Sweden. He married Hilma Alfrida Ekman, born in 1871 in Stockholm. I have no death dates for either of them. They had a daughter: Anna Maria Alfrida Johansson (?), born May 2, 1910, who was married for a time to a man named Eriksson. They were divorced and both seem to have died in 1971.I would appreciate any help. There are many gaps in what I know.You can answer in Swedish, which I understand but have never learned to write.Thank you very much.Harald HilleRiverside CT USA

Hi Anita,Thanks so much for your prompt and thorough reply. That fills in one of many gaps in my family tree. Swedish sources are very rich and the Anbytarforum members and researchers are very helpful. My father's mother was unmarried and sent to America to have her baby out of sight. She didn't tell my father much at all about "the family". I have been trying to piece together the story (a novel, but then every family has its own "novel"). I only wish that my father was still alive to learn more about his Swedish family.Be well,HH
