Wondering if there might be someone who could kindly translate a short letter and a post card from my great grandparents.  A word by word translation is no making sense to me.

I am looking for any information on my Great Grandmother Louise (Louisa) Nelson born October 18, 1843 in the province of Kalmar, Sweden.  She came to America in approximately 1849.  She had three sisters in America at the time.. Mrs. Caroline Lind of burlington, Iowa, Mrs. Christine Trodeson of Chicago, Ill. and Mrs. Clara Wetterling of Stronghurst, Ill.  She married Charles Emanuel Peterson (Father Petter E. Nilsson of Sweden) on April 10, 1871.  They lived on a small farm South of Lockridge, Iowa.

What is the best place to find information from Småland? Most of my relatives are from there, and quite a few were in Kalmar.

Slægtens historie is my web. I live in Denmark but have access to files both in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

To: Carol Harris & Swedish ~ You're most welcome. Just "googling" the name will bring up more information, I'm sure. I appreciated Swedish's question which led to interesting facts I'd never known myself before.  Have a great day. 

By the way, I just renewed my Genline subscription, and they're offering a 35% discount on the annual subscription or a 40% discount on a two-month subscription (but for how long, I'm not sure).  I've had a great deal of luck finding ancestors using Genline, and I stick with them because I am so familiar with how they organize the records, etc.  ("Like an old shoe" or something like that.)

Thank you for the history of the photographer Frederick E. Haynes. I enjoyed reading about him!

Anyone know of any other place to view and print copies of Swedish records other than Genline?
