This is Olga Elisabeth Lagergren, born in Kristdala, Kalmar län, on Sept. 15, 1877. She died in Bankhult, Kalmar län, on Dec. 1, 1923.
Olga Elisabeth gave birth to a son, Frans Evald Brodin, in 1895. She wasn’t married to the boy’s father. Her situation can’t have been good, because according to the birth record both parents wanted to remain anonymous. Olga Elisabeth later changed her mind and came forward. Little Frans Evald was given his father’s last name, but no father is named on the birth record.
We will never know what kind of pressure either of them was under. The boy’s father, Emil Brodin, emigrated to the US in 1896 and died there a few years later.
Olga Elisabeth married in 1909 and had three more children.
Emil Brodin was my 4th cousin twice removed.
