52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - #22 "June Wedding" - Gustav and Hanna Abrahamsson

Prompt #22 (May 28-Jun 3): "June Wedding" - Gustaf and Hanna Abrahamsson

June is the traditional month to marry

The 1954 musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" reinforced the tradition of the June bride with the song "June Bride". "Oh, they say when you marry in June you're a bride all your life, and the bridegroom who marries in June gets a sweet-heart for a wife."

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.
