Christin Jönsdotter

  Research Notes:

Summary There are a number of Family Trees on Ancestry [FTs] that record Christin / Christine and Erik Otto Olson. I have indicated three at seem to be most complete and likely the most accurate.

I have collaborated some of the information, but not all. I have not completed a thorough review of Christin's family.
