A couple of months ago I registerd tombstones at the cemetery of Kropp that was inventoried in the 1990s. ( Database found here: http://www.genealogi.se/gravproj/Gravsoklist.php ). I recognized the name so I did a search and sure I found it.
Now, it would have been awesome if Mia had visited the cemetery as well, looking at the tombstone, when she was in the area. The cemetery is only a few kilometers from the castle. Maybe she was, it wasn't shown on TV in that case.
The stone is not in its original place, it has been moved but is kept and it is integrated in the stonewall surrounding the cemetery.
So, I went there and took a new picture of the stone today.

It is quite hard to read but is say Nils Lundin. If you move the stones on the ground away you will see his wife's name Hanna as well.

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Sweden has it's own version of Who Do You Think You Are?. How wonderful! I also wanted to let you know that I finally published my blog post about Carl Martin Gillberg's cause of death. Thank you so much again for providing me with the documents from Arkivdigital and with your translations. I mentioned you in my post. If you'd like to see the post, here's the link ~ http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2013/11/little-carl-martin-gillberg-cause-of.html
Thanks again!
