HistorySheWrote<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> 24 April 1852 Carl Johan Fröjd was born in the Kalmar portion of the parish of Yxnerum, which straddled two counties in southern Sweden. He was the third of four children born to the soldier Paul Larsson Fröjd and Inga Lisa Fröling, the youngest sister of my third-great-grandfather. His father died when he was 16 and, over the next 11 years, he worked as a farm laborer. At age 27 he emigrated with a number of our cousins to Negaunee, Michigan, a mining town. His fate is unknown, though I may have solved it via DNA matching. You can see a long and convoluted analysis on my blog.<br><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogy</span></a> <br><a href="https://scrappinmyhistory.blogspot.com/2023/09/a-missing-link-52-ancestors.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">scrappinmyhistory.blogspot.com</span><span class="invisible">/2023/09/a-missing-link-52-ancestors.html</span></a></p>
