Alice, 1947

Alice on her confirmation.

My mother, Alice Maria, born Dahlstedt – when she was a teenager, to the right.
January 8th, 1909 – January 26th, 1964. My mother was never employed anywhere and had no occupation. She was a house-wife all her grown-up life from the day she married my father. Before that she lived at home with her parents (my grandparents) which I never knew. Grandmother on mothers side died before I was born, grandfather when I was around 2. Alice had 2 sisters and 2 brothers. None of them live today. Mother was the youngest.

I'n January 2005, I got a family tree for my mother's ancestors from a Swedish visitor to my website who has been researching the Dahlstedt family line. I will publish this here when I get the time. I will then also publish some more photos of my mothers siblings and family.

Adolf Oskar Titus Dahlstedt, born 27th July, 1875, died approximately 1945, married to Tekla Eriksson, born 1875, died some time around 1940 or so. They moved to Stockholm in 1904 from Norrköping. Titus was a sheet-metal worker.
