Answer 1

I'd like to nominate Hillmer Andersson aka Andrain, an immigrant from Sweden to the US who had a road named after him in Washington State.  He and my great uncle had the same first wife.  Not at the same time.  A rabbit hole that I had to pull myself out of, but an interesting family.

Answer 2

Hello! Is there someone who is familiar with Norwegian research and would like to add spouses and children to this family group? Anders Wilhelm Beklund is my 2nd great uncle.  He needs spouses and children added to all his children. He was Swedish and moved to Norway. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Persson-5386

I thought someone can add the spouses and children during the Connect-a-Thon. What do you think? Please let me know. Thank you!!

Answer 3

Three profiles who need connections in the US. This is not my strong point.

I have some Swebilius among my ancestors...

PS. It's a distant cousin to me...

I went to add sources to Swebilius, but then saw someone else had already added many more. I kept the 2 inline bio references I'd inserted and the household table, so feel free to change that.

Answer 4

Thank you everyone who participated in this event! Our team added an amazing 2,170 profiles over the weekend long event! The team ended strong and finished in 13th place overall. What a great effort with just 21 team members on the scoresheet! Thanks again for all of your contributions!
