Comments: I want to thank you for the translation of the Sankta Lucia on your www site. The music was wonderful. When I went into it today (Dec 19) it no longer had the music attached. Did you take that part off? My granddaughter has been doing the St. Lucia for us since she was 3 yrs. old. She is now turning 8 in January. She was thrilled to get a copy of your translation as she keeps wanting me to teach her Swedish. I was never taught the words by my father or his parents so I am of little help. She took the copy to school and the teacher grateful to learn of her Swedish heritage. They get to mark the calendar for days that are special to them. She marked December 13th. Thank-You Jenny

You are from: Sweden
Comments: The Foreign News Desk Chief of the second largest newspaper in Sweden, the tabloid "Expressen" (a 30 year old contact of mine) has told me that his correspondent in New York has had an interview with Jake! They chatted a long time over a cup of coffee. Jake laughed very much over the rumours about his supposedly close relation with The First Daughter! The interview will be published in the beginning of December in connection with the première on Dec. 3rd in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. I plan a summary or translation of it when it comes.We hope to be invited to the opening. Herman

Comments: Great website! I was looking for some info on the Gyllensvard line, but will take the advice in one of your responses to look up the book, Elgenstiernas attartaflor. It would be neat if you had some links to other Swedish genealogy sites, and perhaps some references or libraries that have proved useful. The Swedish Emigrant Institute in Vaxjo, Sweden, was a great place for finding stuff when I visited there in '97, but didn't have enough time to really mine its wealth of material. Unfortunately, all their newsletters are in Swedish, and their website is useless.

Comments: Dear Gunnel, Noble families whose name begin with "Gyllen-" do not usually have the same origin; I have not encountered any at all. I the case of my own family I know that for sure. The origin of the respective families can often be seen in the Encyclopaedia of all noble families in Sweden called "Elgenstiernas ättartaflor". BTW this will soon come out in a new edition.

If you sometime want to realize this idea in some way I´d be glad to contribute. Another wish of mine is, of course, a section about Gyllenhaals in WW II. Thank you for all your efforts!

Comments: Welcome back again on the Net, Ed! It was great to see you and so many Swedenborgians in Sweden. I hope that many will follow in their footsteps; if so it would give me a pleasure to keep them up to date with general cultural developments in Sweden, as it is my part-time job with the Ministry (F.A.) to supply our cultural and press attachés with short summaries of the cultural pages in Newspapers of the Swedish Big Cities'. Have a nice holiday! Herman
