This is the 1984 photo I took in my trip to Sweden. It is in Uppsala and it is for Eric HELLSTEN (1786 - 1839) and his wife Lovisa Charlotta ROBBERT/ROBERT (1795 - 1863). Most often I see Lovisa's last name spelled with 2 b's, here it is just one. There are 13 gold stars on the top front edge of the stone, these stand for their 13 children.
These are the parents of Eric Adolf HELSTEN who came to the US and was the person who employed John CARLSON who I've written about in recent posts. When I traveled to Uppsala, I stayed with Alice HELLSTEN, the granddaughter of Theodor (Manne) Emanual HELLSTEN. She died in 1990.
If any other descendants of Eric and Lovisa read this, I would love to hear from you. I do not have contact with any other HELLSTEN descendants. I would love to share family information.
Hi great readding your post
