• Notes

  Along with the rest of her husband’s family, Marna took the name “Lindell” upon emigrating to America in 1872 and she is listed as “Maina Lindell” at her grave site. [3] Meeker County Cemeteries has death year as 1902, despite the fact that Marna is not listed in [US-1900-1j2] and her husband Nils lists himself as widowed. [1, 3, 12] “Kristianstads län,” is a historic Swedish province that was combined in 1997 with Malmöhus län to form the modern province of “Skåne län”. [1]
