Welcome!

Creating this Family Tree was a journey that started in 1992 and is forever ongoing.....

The starting point was an old Family Tree which was given as a birthday gift to Hugo Schmidt in 1899-Sept-28. My objective has been to find all men and women from Jacob Schmidt dä to modern times. Here are some highlights:

Jonas Persson-Stenlund & family

Jonas Persson is the first who took the name Stenlund. He is the grandfathers father to my wife Sigrid Stenlund-Schmidt. Stenlunds is a family coming from Skellefteå rural parish going back to 1668. Jon Anders Bäcker (soldier, farmer) born in 1721 is the root of current Stenlunds.
