My great grandmother was Anna Lovisa Englin, born 3 Oct 1870 at Vreta, Österfärnebo Parish, Gävleborgs län, Sweden and married to William E. Ivins in Rock Island, IL. They stayed in Rock Island. There was also another sibling, Gustaf Robert Englin, born 5 June 1867 in Österfärnebo Parish, Gävleborgs län, Sweden and married to Mary Josephine Free in Rock Island, IL. As far as I can tell, they stayed in Rock Island. Does any of this look familiar to anyone? also can anyone confirm the Louis who died in 1923 was this Louis? Thanks Paul
