Re: bananarama's History Congrats - Sign-ups and Round 1

DH: Erik Sigurd (February 27, 1878)(22)

The Lindgren family emigrated from Sweden to the United States last year. Erik and Yvla left Sweden seeking a better life. They traveled from New York City to Philadelphia to live with Erik's older brother, who emigrated to the US with his wife five years before Erik and Ylva did. Erik is helping his brother-in-law run his thriving furniture and woodworking business. Ylva has a knack for the English language, and she has learned very quickly. She has established a school for children (and adults as well) that teaches in both Swedish and English. Erik and Ylva's daughter Karin was born a few months ago. They wanted her to have a name that would be easy for American people to pronounce, but that would reflect their heritage. Karin is a very healthy baby, and the Lindgren's are counting their blessings.
