Continuation

This DNA test makes one think. And my husband also suggested I create a family tree. Well, I tried to fill in the table. It doesn’t work… I know only Grandmother and Grandfather on Mama’s side. I talked with Mama on the telephone today and tried to find out at least something. She says she doesn’t remember. She remembered only the patronymic of her mother-in-law — my grandmother on Papa’s side. Well, thanks for that too!

But my husband has an enormous family tree, which he compiled two years ago, preparing for a meeting with relatives in his native Swedish village Ånn (Onn is the Russian name). He then did colossal work on the computer from records in church books; I think he reached the year 1500. I still remember I said to him (joking) that if you search so thoroughly, you’ll “reach” the dinosaurs with your relatives!

He even put me in his tree! I tried to bring him to reason, that a wife is not a relative. But he decided in his own way. I confess, I was flattered.
