She was born in 1900 and grew up on a farm with primarily her mum, two or three older half-siblings and one younger brother. The father died when my grandma was 7. Two older half-siblings emigrated to America in 1901-2 but returned to Sweden some ten years later. The farm was kept in the family until 1930 when my grandmother, her half-sister from their mum's first marriage and their younger brother all got married all within a year or so. My grandfather built a house in another location in the same village (the original house on the property that my brother and I sold four years ago) At first, not only my grandparents lived there (and my dad, born one year later) but also my grandma's sister+husband, and their mother. (The original house back then had 1 kitchen + 1 room downstairs and the same upstairs. No bathroom - just an "outhouse".)

(Like our museum park here in Borås - I think all of the buildings there were moved from other places in the area.) Here it is the authentic farm where it was built; although not all the original furniture (as that had been sold before the municipality took over the place).

The four siblings refusing all technological progress and their house being preserved like in a time capsule after their death reminds me of Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire (I blogged about it in 2011 or so).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-77255058079693167572018-08-12T14:57:16.195+02:002018-08-12T14:57:16.195+02:00awesome buildings and love all the things inside t...awesome buildings and love all the things inside to...
