Greta Dorethea Eliasdotter

  Research Notes:

Summary: Greta Dorotea Eliasdotter [b 1863] was my great-aunt. Her sister was Lisa Albertine Eliasdotter, b in 1865, my great grandmother [married to Johan Nikolaus Nästland]

Greta married in 1883 to Erik August Björkman b 1854. They had 6 children with 2 dying very young. The children used the surname Björkman. It is not clear the meaning of this surname, but "björk" in Swedish means "birch".

I have reviewed this family to determine if anyone had emigrated to the US or Canada. However, from my information, all members of this family continued to live in Sweden, many in the Vilhelmina parish.
