Shared note

[Sloan.ged]Recoreded "A Few Branches From a Famioy Tree" concerning 6 generations in 1925. Her translation of the second stanza of the Swedish National Anthem:
"Our land is poor, will thus remain
To those who gold demand.
A Stranger passes itin disdain.
But love and loyalty we retain;
To us with moor, crag, shoal and strand
"Tis still a golden land.
"The country has no grat natural rsourses, so no great wealth to boast of, bu it must be beautiful and picturesque. I have never heard of any race but the Scandinavian which looks to nature in choosing surnames. From it earliest history thecustom has prevailed, especially among the yeomanry and peasantry, that the sons take the Fathers Christian name, adding "son" to this. This has flooded the country with Olson, Swenson, Anderson, and so forth. ........to keep some odegree ofindividuality we find names like Bergstrom (Mountain Stream), Ekblad (Oakleaf) etc..... The names are eupohoniousnand show the Scandinavians's love of nature.
