52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - #1 "I'd like to meet" - Luther Abrahamson

 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. 

Prompt #1 (Jan 1-7): "I'd Like to Meet"

I'd like to meet my cousin twice removed LUTHER ABRAHAMSON (1891-1974).

He was the nephew of my great grandmother Anna Carolina Carlsdotter and cousin to my grandma Lydia Abrahamson Kallman. His side of my grandmothers family was Lutheran as opposed to her Seventh Day Adventist family. His family appeared poor while grandmothers appeared comfortable and certainly more affluent. He also immigrated to the U.S. in the early 20 th century. He went to New Britain Connecticut, which also had a large Swedish immigrant population, as opposed to Illinois as my branch did. I would ask him his and his families opinion of the Abrahamsson clan and what prompted his emigration and settlement in Connecticut as opposed to Illinois?

just wondering,
