I know she (or her parents) came from Sweden. She married Madison Albro Foster (1875-1949). At the time she married Madison they were living in Rockford, Illinois. Emma had four children: Theodore, Margaret, Evelyn (b. March 7, 1912), Eldora. We have some silver pieces that say Emma and Eliza. My grandmother before she passed said Emma's mother name was Eliza, but a cousin of mine did some research on here and says the name is different. We do have some paperwork on Emma, but her mother's name is so smudged that it is unreadable. Any information given would be greatly appreciate it.
