 My family emigrated from Sweden and into the  
United States and settled in Indiana between the  
years of 1867-1900.  Charles ( first name probably  
Americanized from Calle or Karl) Ericksson (whose  
father was Bergström) and his wife Anna S.  
Ericksson brought their children and Charles'  
sister with them.  Charles was born in Sweden on  
August 11, 1832.  His wife Anna S. Ericksson was  
born on January 18, 1833.  (Charles' sister was  
probably Albertina Bergström).  Christina  
Ericksson was the last of their children born in  
Sweden on April 6, 1864, the remainder were born  
in the USA.
 In approximately 1925, Albertina Bergström made  
her fourth and final visit back to Sweden since  
she immigrated into the USA.  She took with her a  
neice, Annette Fassnacht.  On her visit during  
this time, she met with the following kindred  
(relatives):
 Herr Johansson.  (Charles' cousin).  His home was  
Lillehem.  He was tall, slender, distinguished  
looking.  His first wife had died and he had since  
remarried.  His second wife was much younger than  
he.  He owned a farm which had many one-room  
cottages for his employees. Lillehem was at the  
foot of a hill, at the end of which was once a  
lake, so the soil was fertile.  Herr Johansson had  
a friend who was a schoolmaster.  The school  
master had a wife and young child in 1925.
 Ingetorp.  Oscar Ollsson and his wife, Klara  
lived here.  He was also Charles' cousin.  Oscar  
Ollsson lived in busy little village on the edge  
of a lake in a farming district.  He was the  
shoemaker for the community.
 Huddinge.  The house here was built by Annette's  
second cousin as a home for his mother and sister.  
His mother was Aunt Albertina's sister.  Hildur  
was his sister and Albertina's sister's daughter.  
Hildur's brother worked for the queen.  Hildur's  
brother was August.  August's wife was Elisabeth  
and his daughter was Hildur.  His son was Helge.  
August worked at an iron foundry.  Helge worked at  
a confectioners and Hildur worked at a department  
store.
 Friends:  Fru Anne was daughter of Fru Augusta  
who was married to August.  Anne lived at  
Ingelsbo.  Anne's husband was Karl.  August and  
Augusta had 3 sons and a daughter besides Anne.  
Elise and her husband lived at Borenas.  Anders  
was Augusta's youngest son.  
 There are now many descendents of the Swedes  
living throughout all of the USA.  Tradition and  
interest in Sweden has been maintained.
