Tack. I know about Bengtas parents; Sven Björk and Bertha born Håkansdotter. Bengta had four sisters; Anna, Elna, Karna and Johanna. I can follow them though they were living in Sweden. Karna had a daughter; Nelly Mårtensson who also emigrated to Chicago America. I´m also looking for her relatives and as well another Nelly who was daughter or maybe grandchild to Anna. Both have been visiting Sweden a long time ago, but I dont´t know anything about them. Bengta Björk emigrated to Chicago, that I know, but after that there is noone knowing anything about her. Thankful for help.
