Home II. Boxholm and Kinnekulle

Family Photos

Good heavens.  Now, the back row third from left looks like a photo of Kajsa Johannesdotter -- was this a big family reunion back there, with all nine of Kajsa's children? No idea. We keep spotting that little boy, there in profile. The back of one of the pictures with a child by a hedge says "Fallehagen."

Was there another trip to Sweden in 1953?

We see MS Kungsholm on the back of a ship photo, here, and that TransAtlantic liner on the Swedish America line was not commissioned until 1953, and went from Gothenberg to NY. See ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Kungsholm_%281953%29

Who are the Bungers?? Did a Widing or Osterlund marry a Bunger?? If nobody knows, I'll take these out.


1. Bill, Marie and Dona
2. Elmer's brother Ray and family, Amy, John, Billy
3. Ma Bunger
4. Elmer's sister Ora and husband
5. Elmer's cousin Lena and family
6. Leona and Bette - Oscar took the picture
7. The Bungers

People should not be forgotten.

Here is the mystery on the Kungsholm.  The name is indicated for the ship, on the back of some of these, but the MS Kungsholm was commissioned in 1953.  A third trip to Sweden to visit? This shows a hemline like the 1950's, for example. And some shuffleboard. 





That is the Lee as in Lee's family? Now, who is Lee?



Another puzzle:  This has "Vadstena" or Wadstena written on the back, but it does not look like other photos we see online. Then what is this?  There should be many old and royal burials in it, and fine wood sculptures. What connection to the ruin


We usually spell it Vattern. This is the third largest of the lakes in Sweden, see ://www.vattern.se/index.php?lang=en/  Boxholm is not far. See Granna there, and Vadstena.
