Erik Elias Lenuson

   Another name for Erik was Erik Elias Linusson.

  Research Notes:

Brief Summary:

Erik Elias Lenuson was a 1st cousin to my Mom. Erik's father, Linus Eliasson, was a brother to my Mom's grandmother, Lisa Albertine Eliasdotter, 1865-1911. Lisa had been married to Johan Nikolaus Näsland, 1863-1948. Lotten's early years were spent on a farm in Nästansjö.

I have found some information on his family, although more research is needed. The information and dates for his family are primarily from the 2 Family Trees on Ancestry.
