Stensele kyrka, 1933

All my recent Swedish ancestors are from the area around Stensele, home of Sweden’s largest (? or oldest?) wooden church. I found this 1933 photo of the church on to https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/stensele/historia.

In more recent photos, tall trees stand alongside the church—this is the only photo I saw that shows the whole church.

In 1933 Fritz was 40 years old, and Lilly was 39 and had given birth to four of her five children. Her father, Anders August Johannson Ljung, had been dead for 11 years.
