It has been about four and a half years since I began my blog about my Swedish family history journey. On my very first entry I posted this photo of my great grandparents Albin and Anna Abrahamson.
This photo is especially precious because it was the very first photo I had ever seen of my great grandparents, my grandmother and her siblings in Sweden.
In that post, which you can see HERE I wrote....
"My goal is to now and then to chat a bit about our family and my findings
on my family history journey. I hope you will join me."
Many of my cousins did join me and shared information, memories and photographs and I will be forever grateful for their kindness to me. The family tree has grown exponentially. I have contacted quite a few cousins, also descended from Albin and Anna and happily quite a few have contacted me through this blog or my Ancestry family tree.
I thought it interesting to do just a headcount of their descendants. (No names for the sake of privacy)
Albin and Anna Abrahamson have 316 descendants, that I am aware of.
No doubt I am not aware of all the great great and great great great grandchildren. Also I am not counting spouses of descendants, just the descendants of this prolific couple themselves, both by birth and adoption. Still though, quite a few of us owe our existence to and are thankful that long ago, Albin met Anna.
