Märta Abrahamsson Jonason

My Grand Aunt, Märta Abrahamsson Jonason, was born this day July 8th in 1899. She was the eighth of nine children born to my great grandparents, Albin and Anna Abrahamsson. My grandmother Lydia and two of her sisters, Anna and Ruth, emigrated to the United States early in the twentieth century. Märta and her additional sisters, Hilma, Ester and Tyra remained and married in Sweden. Märta was only nine when my grandmother left Sweden and Märta never visited family in the United States. Therefore I never did meet her nor did I hear anything about her from my grandmother as I was growing up. I wish I had. In this photo of her in  her young teens she looks like such a nice gal. She has my grandmother's smile.
