I pray they wake up and take back the country from which my Grandmothers family emigrated in the 1800’s and throws off the Muslim Horde who abuses their kindly nature and seeks to breed out the natives
God be with them I pray
Joining you in prayer.
Amen!
In 1921 my grandfather had already immigrated and established himself working at a steel plant. He’d sent for my grandmother and his kids living in a small village in Sweden. According to my grandmother, the priest refused to give her the documents she needed, probably birth certificates, as he didn’t want any more villagers leaving for America. She had to threaten him with force. (She was a robust farm woman and had no compunction about using force.) She got the documents and left. Apparently she never looked back. Although my grandfather had his ashes sent to Sweden, my grandmother said she didn’t even want her ashes to go back. Home was here.
What was going on in the 1800’s that caused your Grandmother’s family to emigrate from Sweden in the 1800’s? Poverty? Lack of jobs? Something drove them to leave and take their chances in a culture not of their own.
