From Viktoria’s presentation at Minnesota family reunion in 2010.

“Before we ask you to stand and be counted, let me tell you about the two daughters who immigrated. Britta Stina married and had a daughter Hanna.  When Britta Stina was about 31 years of age she died, and this daughter Hanna was adopted by her sister Maja-Stina and her husband.  We have this picture of Maja-Stina but none of Britta Stina.  Neither of these sisters had descendants after Hanna passed away.”
