Carrie Englund (born Catharina Olsdotter - 11 November 1810 - Östra Kyrkbyn, Alfta Parish, Gävleborg Län, Sweden and died 31 January 1900, buried in Union Centery) is the Great, Great Grandmother of the Republic County Coordinator.) On Memorial Day, 2002, we visited her grave. A lady born in Sweden has descendents visiting her grace and paying their respects 192 year later. Turns into quite a small world.
