Oh and by the way, the little girl on the picture may very well be little Ruth.

Bjurbäck) b 1899 d 1969 and their daughter Ruth b. 1926 11/11 d. 1951 22/11. I will keep my eye open for more info on your ancestors. /Elisabet

This is wonderful, Elisabet, that you can do this for Sue.

Comment by Sue Pearson Greichunos on February 4, 2012 at 12:38pm

Oh Wow! Elisabet, this sends chills through me to read my Father's words this way.  Thank you! 

p.s. ~ There are several more small little handwritten pages like this.  Dare I upload them here???

Comment by Elisabet Lindberg on February 4, 2012 at 5:46am

Hello Sue! The translation is (roughly):

I got your letter (through our sister) the 21st of nov 1938. where I read that the property in Österås is apparently for sale,
probably through our brother Adolf. There for we wonder, why our brother Carl couldn't buy(?) the apartment in Österås, for which we gave our consent last summer and warrant from all of us here in this country.
All of us over here are eager to see an investigation of the matter, since we found our brother Carls's offer satisfying.

It was always Father's wish that one of his children would take over after him, his wish was that I would take over one of the properties, when I was home in the summer of 1929.

Below is just one page from a document my Father drafted in his handwriting.  I won't put every page up here, obviously it takes up a lot of space.  But perhaps there is someone who can help me transcribe this?
