Hi Maryann,
I also wrote to your email addy but in case you don't get it, here is some basic info.I'm not related to the Eklunds, but our common connection is William Taylor and Margaret Rainbolt.Your line is from their daughter Mary Ann Taylor who married Archer Childs and my line is from their daughter Irene Elizabeth Taylor who married John Rinehart Dowlin.
Sorry I can't help you on the Swedish Eklund side.My mother and at least one of her cousins used to visit Daveta and Robert in McPherson Co.Last year I 'inherited' one of my great-aunts address books and it had Daveta's address in it.I can't wait to tell Mom's cousin!I wrote back and forth a couple of times with one of your closer cousins but sort of lost track after my mother passed away.You may know him, he's a Rees, his line is Lillian Childs, Daveta's sister.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
