Comment by serena clarkson on October 14, 2012 at 1:32pm: Do I have any famous family? Do I have anything interesting in my family?

Comment by serena clarkson on October 14, 2012 at 1:31pm: I want to know anything and everything that I can about my family. I have no family here that knows about them. I am trying to find family that may or may not know about my CMT disease and see if any other family has the same thing.

Comment by Steven D Koehler on July 20, 2012 at 9:53am: Hi Kristen! Glad to see you are still researching your Swedish roots. I don't know what Annelie has already sent you, but I found your family in two of the household examination rolls for Lekåsa, as well as the moving out list for Lekåsa. The couple was married in 1881. Two sons who died in Sweden are listed, as well as a surviving son Karl Albin, born 30 July 1885. Let me know if you're interested in more detailed information. It should be possible to follow Johanna Johansdotter back in time in Åsaka ( = Barne-Åsaka).
