She was 25 years, when she emigrated to Minneapolis. I know that she even was in a little town called Crockston during the 1890th. Do someone know anything about her? I had hope to find her when my father lived, but I have not had any luck. But I would still want to know more about her. She emigrated to Minneapolis 13th of May 1891 from Kall parish, Jämtland.
