WOW! Well with this wonderful help I have tracked the family to 1925, and I believe I have found a living descendant in Lund, 3C2R. I hope he'll write back!!! Magnus Otto and his wife had 2 surviving children at this point, Erik Oskar and Knut Vilhelm. Lunds domkyrkoförsamling AIIa:80 (1914-1925) Image 1940 / page 7190 (AID: v104711.b1940.s7190, NAD: SE/LLA/13254) (thanks for the tip on Control C) I haven't been able to find the family after 1925, but still, this is amazing.
