I have been collecting photos of "Mormor" or Amalia and thought I would just post the ones I have with her in them so far. I do not know too much about Mormor . She of course is Amy's mother. When Amy's father ;Karl Gustav Johansson died, she was a young widow. To provide for her three young children, she was a seamstress . Mom says that she would look in the swedish fashion magazines and then reproduce the fancy clothing for ladies that would pay her. She would design the patterns from the pictures. Another way that she earned money for herself and the children was to take in borders. This is how she met Victor Bloomquist , and they(Amalia and her chidren) were brought into the church through him. The two of them were married, and had "little joe" , their only child together. They eventually all immigrated to America from Sweden. Of course in the genealogy records we have all of the dates...
