The Granat Family History

The SweAme organization is extremely pleased to present Online The Granat Family History. This family historical document was prepared and printed in 2010 by Virginia (Ginny) Granat Mapes of Portland, Oregon. We are very fortunate to be able to share it with our SweAme readers.

It is a large PDF file and it is - as deep as it is long. You will find many strikingly beautiful old black-and-white family and individual photos of members of this Granat family.  You will read in fine detail of some of the many life altering events of this family from Hova, Sweden. And upon finishing this excellent read, you will come away with a feeling that you actually know this family. 

I don’t want to give too much of the story away too soon, but this young couple (Per John Granat and his beloved Ellen Lindblad), to fulfill their American dream in 1909, had to decide to leave their young son at the grandparent’s home in Sweden as they both boarded different ships for North America.

You can access this family history story by first going to their SweAme website page at:

Look for the Histories LINK near the bottom of the page.
I am very sure that you will enjoy reading about the Granats. And, I am also sure that Virginia will enjoy hearing from you - ginny@coho.net.  

Happy reading everyone,
David Borg
