I was doing some research this weekend and had another one of those strange moments when I realize that someone I'm researching is already in my tree. I was tracking down the sisters and brothers of Anna Johanna Pehrsdotter, who is the wife of my great-great-granduncle (my g-g-grandpa's brother Per Olof Berglund). I have these photos from my cousin Dan and I wanted to know if some of them might be connected to the family through her. Anyways, Anna's youngest sister Maria Pehrsdotter married a man named Per Eric Sellstedt. They immigrated to Minnesota...Brunswick, MN. Not a huge surprise there, since it seems almost everyone that I'm connected to in Sweden came to Brunswick. Their son Per Johan Sellstedt married Hilma Christine Naslund. She was already in my tree! Her father was Edward Naslund, who was the son of Ivar Jönsson, who was a brother to my g-g-g-grandpa Olof Jönsson. Hilma was also the niece of my biological g-g-grandmother. Have I lost you yet? Talk about a tangled mess!
I posted a transcription of the marriage announcement in the Kanabec County Times from 1899 on both of their pages. www.findyourheritage.net
