Heah Jennifer! Nice job, this is the correct family, plus the inlaws! Wow, what a bonus. Thanks so much. Now, off to the Sweden List to see if I can find out from where in Sweden they came.

Not sure what you used to find them, I just couldn't get them....so thanks so much! These Lists are such a great tool.
