52 Ancestors in 52 weeks #4 - "Education" - Hulda Olivia Andersson

Prompt #4 (Jan 22-28): "Education" - Hulda Olivia Andersson

My grand uncle, Gustaf Abrahamsson, lost his wife Hanna to heart disease while his children were yet young. He later married Hulda Olivia Andersson. She was a teacher at the local school. Could that be how they became acquainted?

In the middle row is Gustav's daughter Gunhild (seated at far left) and just over Hulda's right shoulder is Gustav's son Seth.  All accounts are that she was a lovely woman, well loved and respected by her husband and his children.








 From Amy Johnson Crow, a genealogist, far more experienced then I. "The data that we've accumulated in our genealogy software and in our binders and folders doesn't do a whole lot of good just sitting there. We need to do something with it." Each week she sends out a prompt to share a bit about an ancestor, collateral relative, or family friend.
