records that she was married to Jöns Walfred Persson (b 27 Jan 1885) in Sweden in Malmöhus län, Hurva parish - this is in the southern part of Sweden, not far from Malmö (across from Copenhan. Support from a marriage record that records this Gerda's birth as 19 Dec 1886. 'Our' Gerda was born at Ed parish on 19 Dec 1887. I DON'T Think so
"our" Gerda used the given name of "Gertrude" in the US
