Boatorp

Today was another day for family history. It was time for Joan and Anita to visit the farm where Joan's paternal grandmother lived until she emigrated to the U.S. The farm Boatorp is now owned by Sören and Barbro but was owned by Joan's ancestors for several generations until Joans great grandfather sold it in 1900 and moved to America.

This was the only one of their ancestors homes that we could actually walk inside, and it meant a lot to Joan and Anita to see the rooms where their ancestors lived and to have coffee in a room that looks the same now as it did back then. We spent a lot of time looking around, drinking coffee and talking. Sören, Barbro and their sons also took us to the Otto hill which is a small forest road that leads from Boatorp to another farm that Sörens grandfather owned many years ago. It is called Otto hill because it was on Otto's farm (Otto was Joan's great grandfather).

Thank you, Sören and Barbro, for a day that Joan and Anita will never forget!
