Karin Olofsdotter, 1720-1743, with one son, Nils 1741-1829 - my direct line 5th great-grandfather

* see notes in z-folder, currently in the folder, "Kristin Persdtr , b 1862 m. Erik N Lofgren, b 1858" re, Norman Johnson
- the information of the FT below, led me to a new family relationship since Kristin marriage Erik N Lofgren - so I had to check this out and spent many hours researching. BUT Erik N Lofgren is NOT related to my "Lofgrens". However his children are.

- this is the link to Halsten Persson, 1804-1855
- there is a lot of information that he has attached - Swedish Church records - household records/births etc
- led me to the family of Kristin Persdotter, b 1862 and died in Polk Co, MN - married to Erick Nilsson Lofgren, 1858-1938 [BUT no relationship to 'my Lofgren's'] and a number of her siblings to Meeker Co, south and a bit east of Dassel MN. Her siblings used the surname "Settergren" in the US - have NOT researched them much
