And this, ladies and gentlemen...
...is Mathilda's mother Christina Pihl nee Lengquist, my great grandmother's great grandmother. She was born in 1790 and lived to be 92 years old. (I remember my great grandmother Anna making a comment on this: "That was nothing!" Herself she lived to be 98.) Just like her daughter she was married to a priest and just like her daughter she survived her husband by 51 years.
When it comes to family history, women are more interesting. Because the men die earlier, are less complicated and write less letters and diaries.
