Good guess RK

Hello Linus,
Johan Peter Byggdin is my grandfather (Wallace was my dad). Just saw your posts this morning as I’ve just recently been doing some searching of my family history too. I see you have received some info, but I can certainly provide more, if you’re interested. Lucille, John’s only daughter, is still alive (98 this year). Merle, the youngest son, died about 30 years ago. As for me, I’ve been living in St. John’s, Newfoundland since 1996 (married in ‘07). Also, I have a cousin, Lorraine, who has done extensive work on our family tree. My grandfather’s trip to Sweden in the 60s is still fondly remembered by his clan!
Best regards
Shelley Di-Nur
