I did not think it was possible to find any living relatives since it has been so long since my great grandfather emigrated to the US.

Testimonial from Skip Anderson, Rhode Island , USA
Yvonne,
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
I received your two emails a few minutes ago and was blown away by the quantity and quality of the reports you presented.
It was far beyond what I expected. Also, I now can easily see why I reached that “brick wall.”

Testimonial from Susan K. Mangus, Hickory, Kentucky, USA
I am in shock - absolute shock !! You have solved a 163 year old mystery in my family !!
I can’t believe that for so many years we have wondered Who Is “EMMA”?? and now you have the answer in 12 hours !! Unbelievable…..
When I tell the family members their reaction will be felt even in Sweden !!
It is exciting to know the name of the ship Emma traveled on
( “American Barque Matilda”) - I assume a “barque” is a smaller vessel.
I have a picture from the Ellis Island archives of the ship my paternal relatives arrived here on, and it must have taken great courage to cross an ocean in such a small ship !!

Testimonial from John Dolan, Winsconsin, USA
I am holding the picture that has been my motivation for my Sweden family history. Taken in about 1902 it shows the blended family of William James Dolan and Augusta (Jonsson) Ljungberg.
The five Swedes from Augusta's first marriage are in the back (my grandfather is second from the right, just over William's right shoulder.) In the front are the Dolan children (less one who died not long after returning to Scotland and the two youngest who were born in Scotland.)

Testimonial from Chris Enlund Baity, Wyoming, USA
I am absolutely amazed that you were able to find so much information about my family. I called my mother (who is in the nursing home) and told her about it. She was thrilled.
I told her I’d send her a copy of your report. It was put together so nicely and it was so interesting to read about how some of them died and about the jobs they had.

Thanks to your research, the understanding that my brothers and I had of our grandfather Olof Johansson’s family in Sweden has suddenly expanded beyond all our imagining.

Have you hit the Brick Wall?
I want to help you further. I have access to several databases of church records from around 1780-2009 to search in, and it´s for all parishes in Sweden. Stubbornness is important, but sometimes it is mission impossible, because the church records are simply missing.
Do not hesitate to contact me, even if you are unsure of the source data.
The first initial search is free! Then I find out if there is enough evidence to continue the search on.
10 years of searching is over!
Dear Yvonne, It was a god-send to have found you after years of unsuccessful searches ...
