For the Theme challenge

Journalling: This is my great grandfather Erik and his younger brother Albert and their older sister Maria. The photo must have been taken around 1905-1910. They had a sister that died before her third birthday, Anna. In the death-book (in the background), it says that she died from brain fever in 1890, the same year my ggf was born. Their mother, Marit, died from Tuberculosis in 1894. Albert was adopted by a rich, single woman. Erik moved in with his grandparents. Maria, who had other relatives than her siblings (!), probably moved in with them. Given that this picture exists, they must have had some contact after all.

Beautiful page! Love genealogy pages! I guess the year of birth of your ggf has to be 1890 instead of 1990? And the year of death of his mom 1894?
 
wonderful... terrific that you found so many connections and details... life was certainly different then...
 
Oh Guinevere, of course U R right! 1800 - not 1900! And I wrote it wrong both in the lo and in the translation. I knew I should have kept the psd-file! Arrrghh...
 
Your story is amazing and using the documents behind makes it truly special. Thank you for sharing and for contributing to our heritage theme!
