Biographical Note
William Danielson’s father lived in Öland, Sweden. Several relatives were still living there when William and his wife took a trip to visit Sweden. They were able to visit some of their cousins over the two days of their stay. They visited the home of his late cousin Hilma in Långlöt, discovering she had passed away. They stopped at Räpplinge where his father was born and looked around in the church he had attended, finding records of the family. They also stopped by the Danielson Clothing Store and met more cousins.
