This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American. The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Up at 6.20 and got oranges ready. Read paper. Tillie up at 7.00 and we packed car. Went to the beach with Etta in her car. Stopped at Tropic Isle and walked down with the Ryans and swam in the ocean, not too rough.
