Five generations of the Sörqvist family in 1940, 24 years after the earlier five-generations photo. The oldest, Eva, has passed away and a baby boy has been added. Standing from the left are: baby Sixten, born 11 January 1940 in Mälndal; his mother, Elsa, born 2 June 1916 in Svarteborg; Mathilda, born 20 October 1872 in Kville; and Anna, born 13 March 1893 in Kville. Hilma, born 10 September 1850 in Krokstad, is sitting in front. Hilma is Frida’s mother and Mathilda is her sister. Elsa was the infant in the original five generations photo. Many years later, Elsa compiled the story of the women who were ancestors to the Sörqvist family and she corresponded with me.
