Thank you, Martin. I suspected that she was a great grandmother because of when she was born. And when I checked to see who her husband was I knew immediately that it was my farrfar farbrors hustru. It really turns out to be a very simple process and I was over thinking it. Lois On 11/30/2012 8:58 AM, Martin wrote: > Gammelmormor or gamlemormor is greatgrandmother.
