At the family reunion in Sörbyn we
took a couple of large group photos. I thought the only way to
indicate who was who in the pictures was with a map. I have one
of the
photos and a
map of who is
who. Eventually I'll get the other one done as well.
I got scans of some pictures of Dell
(Leeman) Libby and her family. Dell was the older sister of Laura
(Leeman) Anderson.

Libby, oldest son of Dell and Frank Libby. Date and location

updated the captions.

July 25, 2004
The trip to Sweden was wonderful and I
have a number of new images to add to the web site. I'm working
on getting myself out from under the backlog of work that piled up
here, so it may take a little while before I get them all posted.
When I got home, I found some pictures of Raymond Anderson and Barbara
Anderson waiting for me. I have to get the originals back to
Barbara, so I've scanned them in here. First there are four
pictures of Raymond Anderson (
1,
2,
3, and
4) and seconds three
pictures of Raymond and Barbara Anderson (
1,
2, and
3).
July 17, 2004
We have been in Sörbyn and people
have
been asking us about where we come from
so I've added a
link to a web page with some
maps
and pictures. And to make it easier for people who wanted copies of the
Pictures we have from the reunion, here is a
link
June 26, 2004
Updated phpGedView to 3.00 and enabled
registration requests.
Entered some more data into Gramps and exported it to
phpGedView. Mostly children and grandchildren of Ramond

Fedora Core 2.
April 19, 2004
I've done some work renaming some files
and updating some links to make it possible to burn this web site to a
CD for relatives (my father) without internet access or with slow
internet access.
April 17, 2004
Wow, has it really been 6 weeks since
I've done anything here? My continuing excuse is the waves of
viruses continues keeping me busy nights and weekends.
On Tuesday April 14th Fred Broman sent me a couple of pictures he took
on a snowmobile trip to Hultet (about 3 miles southwest of Sörbyn)
which is where Lars Olof Anderson lived prior to emmigrating to maine.
- Picture of the only
house left in Hultet.
- Picture of the food cellar
of another house of unknown age.
February 29, 2004
FInally back to doing some work on this
after a rather rough month (multiple hardware failures at work, waves
of viruses and hard drive on my desktop at home failing).
On February 14th Fred Broman sent me a
picture
of Nils Anton Broman and his fourth wife Andrietta with NAs
granddaughter Lisa.
I've added a scanned copy of a
genealogy
of the Sawyers and Drakes of Piscatiquis County, Maine (1979 edition)
by Fred Sawyer (a distant cousin). There are references to
Andersons on pages
106
107,
130,
131,

I've also got the 1987 supplement which I'll probably add at some time
and the 1945 edition which I probably won't unless someone asks.
I've added a scanned copy of the
1900 census for Piscataquis
county. There is a reference to Lars Olof Anderson and family
on page

I enabled viewing of deceased people by
un-authenticated people in phpGedView. There really is not much
data there yet. It is on my to-do list but data entry takes
time. Eventually I'll add logins for those family
members who are interested. The phpGedView
configuration needs a little more tweaking, the update functions cause
some odd messages.
Uploaded several pictures:
- Picture of August Victor
Anderson from sometime in the 1940s. Milton Anderson said he took
it with a box camera he bought during WWII.
- Picture of
August Victor Anderson (left) and Milton Leroy Anderson (right) taken
in 1952 or 1953. You can get an idea of how big August was,
Milton is 6ft tall (183cm for you metric users).

August Victor Anderson (left) and Shirley Ann Anderson (right) taken in
1952 or 1953.
- Picture of August Victor
Anderson in front of garage of house on Main Street in Monson sometime

- A postcard showing Axel Anderson and an unknown woman. I have an
image of the front and
the back. This again
is a copy of a copy and I hope to get a better scan. Note: 2004-01-31, I've gotten a better
scan and replaced the image.

January 25, 2004
Created index page and update log
for the genealogy section of the web site.
Added scans of a letter from Kristian Wikman to Lars Olof and Albertina
Anderson on April 10th 1909. What I have is a copy of a copy and
it has a bit chopped off. I'm hoping to get access to the
original so I can get a better scan. The scribbles on page 4 were
done by either Glennys or Norma (granddaughters of Lars Olof).
There are three images
pages
1 and 4 and
pages 2 and 3
and an
english translation.
Glennys and Norma also had a family bible that belonged to their mother
(Aldena E. Minnett). I have scans of three sections, the
first has Aldena's
and John Everetts marriage and births listed and a penciled in death
date. The
second
lists children and the
third
lists deaths.
January 24, 2004
I upgraded the disk in my desktop and
have moved the old disk (27 GB) to the server where this web site
runs. This should provide plenty of disk space for anything I
want to put here.
January 23, 2004
Installed phpGedView and populated it
with the data from Gramps. At the moment all access
is password protected. I'm not sure I want this data hanging out
for anyone to see at this time. I added administrative IDs for
Therese and myself.
