Ida mentioned that their mother was born out of wedlock to a professor at the University of Lund and a school teacher who was from a respected family in Lund. Their mother was raised in foster homes in Trolleholm (?) and died on February 3, 1914. She mentions their grandmother, Miss Lunderberg (?) visited several times.

Ida’s letter of 2/3/1947 indicated that their parents had eight children and three died as infants; that leaves five, but we only know of four of them – Carl, Ida, Anna and Gottfrid – so there may be another that died of young age.
