Another Set of Twins

Hi Everyone,

I should have known I would miss a set of twins in our ancestry. Shortly after I posted yesterday, I was sitting at my computer working on some obituaries and remembered a set of twins, this time on the Linn side.

We still aren't a family known for multiples, but now we have 3 sets that I know of. Still not alot when you think about the thousands of people in our lines over the past 300+ years.

Gustus Olausson Linn's father was Olaus Fredericsson.
Olaus' father was Fredric Smedbom.
Fredric's father was Peter Smedbom.

Peter married Sigrid Jonsdotter in 1722, and they had 7 children including our Fredric Smedbom. But the two youngest children were twins, a boy and a girl.

Birth of Hedewig and Jons Petter, children of Peter Smedbom

Hedewig, a daughter, and Jons Petter, a son, were born on March 29, 1734, in Eksjo (pronounced Ear-kroo) Parish in Jonkoping County.

Peter and Sigrid are my 5th great grandparents on the Linn side of our ancestry.

I'd like to say that I've found them all, and I think I have. But if you know of any others in our ancestry, please let me know so I can share with everyone.

One set of Linn twins born in 1734; one set of Olofson twins born in 1804; and one set of twins incorporating both the Linns and Olofsons, born in 2002.
