Britta Eriksdotter

  Research Notes:

See Britta's mother's page for some US Census records for some of her children - 1870 US, 1875 and 1885 MN States
Britta is recorded with a date of death as 29 Oct 1868.
Her son Vilhelm or William was born in Oct 1867, so her death was likely not related to his birth. William died 9 Oct 1924 [MNHS people search, Wright Co death cert, 1924-MN-016688]
