This is Murtorpet. My Great-Great Grandfather, Carl August Johansson was born and raised on this farm. At the Age of 24, he packed up his things and Emigrated with his family to America in 1890.
Tomorrow I begin my pilgrimage back to my homeland. This is probably the most exciting trip of my life... I hope I will be able to see the farm, and meet some of my relatives that did not emigrate to America.
Updates over the next two weeks may be sparatic, but look forward to some awesome pictures and a general GREAT time!
