This cosmetic-bag is to be sent to a girl in Sweden. She helped me to find the brother of my grandmother. He went to USA in 1910 and his sisters and brothers lost him. There is a Facebook group Swedish American Genealogy Group. They help you to find your relatives who went from Sweden to USA and those in USA who want to find there swedish rotes. With help from a swedish girl called Linnea I now know a lot about him and his family. Perhaps there is some cutíes who also is looking for relatives

Beautiful! And what a lovely way to say "Thank you". Myself and our family in Germany have been found by people from Wisconsin and Minnesota nine years ago! Our family history goes back until approx. 1840 when a mutual ancestor emigrated to the states and founded a very big family. It was a joy when we had been contacted by Melissa. We entertain good communication and visited each other. Two years ago I've been visiting Melissa and we celebrated a wonderful 4th of July family reunion at and on little Muskego lake in Milwaukee. Hope you will visit your family in Sweden soon or they come to you! Wishing a lovely weekend - Maria

Beautiful gift you've made Anita for Linnea. Trevor went to Adelaide in late May to collect a family history book, which was done by one of his cousins of our (his) last name which goes back 300 years. I'd love to do this for my family name, but haven't done so as yet, maybe one day! Love Chris

Love the bag. A very thoughtful gift. My family originally came from Sweden also, but family found relatives in Sweden several years ago. My father was very into genealogy.

We really all are linked somehow. So glad you found this gentleman, and a new friend in Linnea.
