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.

Wed. Aug. 16, 1961.
Up at 7.00. Cool.
Went to Dicks about 9.30 and we went to Apex and bought Mayrene Brown a wedding gift. Then to “Sears” and “Coats Field Shopping Center” and looked over their stock. Home and had a sandwich.
Then went to Svehliks and had a beer with them. Then to Bennys and bought a hedge cutter for Dick and a car rack for my car. Home and Evelyn was home.
At six Dick, Evelyn, Tillie, Ronald, Gail and I went to Rocky Point and had chowder and clam cakes.
Beautiful Evening.
Watched T.V. in Eve. Left at 10.00.
Lin was in bed.
