Henrik Fredriksson and Carolina Johansdotter

The parents of Hilda Marie Henriksdotter, Dad's grandmother.  Henrik was born in 1843 and can be found in the 1890 census of Vasterbotten.  In this census he is with his second wife as Carolina has passed away of Tuberculosis. In those days when a mother died her children were referred to as orphans even if the father was still living. So Hilda was considered to be an orphan.  Degerfors where Hilda was born is now part of Vindeln This photo is of Reindeer on the highway just outside of Vindeln January 2009
