[Michelle Smith]

If anyone has the time to translate this to English, I would be very appreciative! I think this is regarding my husband's great-grandmother, who is supposed to have served as a member of the Swedish Parliament.  I can't read any Swedish, but I can decipher the dates and this person appears to have the same birthdate, if fodd translats to born.)
