#OTD 12 March 1815, Anders Ersson Forss was born in the parish of Björnlunda, Södermanland. His father and brother Carl took the surname Nyström, while Anders and Lars took the name Forss. Three older siblings died in childhood. The youngest brother Lars, 20, froze to death on Anders birthday, 12 March 1844, while out in the weather. He was buried in May, so it is likely his body was not found for several weeks. Only Anders, my ancestor, and his brother Carl Nyström were left of six siblings. Both have many living descendants today.
