The barn

Inger found the initials H GD carved on the wall on the barn and wouldn't one want to believe that perhaps Hulda or Helga is the one to have written her initals?



The Initials

A Big Thank you to Karl-Erik Fredriksson and Inger Nemeth who have been out to Salsjön together and who have taken these wonderful pictures.
You are both wonderful and indispensable in this research for the Gidlöf's, thank you once more.
