Information about decendants of Gunnar and Anni Eklund is submitted by Ms Birgitta Lundmark whose grandmother, (mother’s mother) Martha Eklund was a sister to Gunnar Eklund. Martha´s sister Astrid Eklund conducted an ancestry research 1947 from which the information is taken. Ms Lundmark has also been a great help in translating nearily all the text written into German and to correct the author’s English.
