Thank you for the information. I knew he died at a young age from lighting while playing golf but did not know that he played in the 1904 Olympics as a golfer. Thank you I will have to call my kids to let them know. They loved there Grand father so this will be news they didn't have.
Hi E! Are you interested in participating in this year's Spring Clean-a-thon on April 23? We would appreciate all the help we can get even if you only have a moment to clear a few errors. If you are interested you can sign up on the following link, let them know you want to be on Team Nordic Noir, formerly Spic-n-Span Scandinavians:
Dotter till Göran Fex, född 1942 i Lund, son till Anders Fex, född 1916 i Lund, son Till Johan William Fex född 1887 i Lerhamn, son till Anders Hansson Fex född 1851, son till Hans Jönsson Fex född 1813. Jag har mitt stora släktträd på ancestry. Det fick tyvärr inte plats här. Hur är vi släkt?
Hej! Har du något belägg för att Klas Pontus Arnoldson (Arnoldson-3) skulle ha bara "Klas" som tilltalsnamn? Överallt annars jag ser står han som Klas Pontus eller K. P. Det är du som ändrade hans "first name" från Claes Pontus till bara Claes i en redigering 2018 (och flyttade "Pontus" till middle-name-fältet), så det är därför jag undrar.
Jag har ingen aning om vad han kallades i familjen, men klart verkar han kallas hela namnet lika mycket som offentlig person i alla fall. Jag tycker att preferred name borde vara "Klas Pontus" (och inget middle name, förstås!).

Great work! I read that there were two Swedish prime-ministers in the family De Geer and also one Dutch. I will add this Dirk Jan de Geer in a while, I will try to connect Elias Trip who was married to a De Geer (and traded with Sweden as well). The tree so far:
I was pleased to find the De Geer family in Sweden. I created the profile for Jan Jacob de Geer who was born in Finspång. Can we try to connect the Dutch branch with the Swedes?

Jag har sett att du har arbetat mycket på min familj med familjenamnet Fex på sistone. Är vi släkt och i så fall hur? Hälsningar, Åsa Fex Svenningsen
