Nils Larsson FRÄNDE ¹

   Another name for Nils was FRIEND.¹

  General Notes:

Nils Larsson Frände (Friend) was a forefather of the New Sweden Colony in America. He and his family are the subject of a forefather family profile by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, the historian of the Swedish Colonial Society, entitled Nils Larsson Frände (Friend), which was originally published in Swedish Colonial News, Volume I, Number 3 (Spring 1991) and which now can be viewed online at http://www.colonialswedes.org/Forefathers/Friend.html.

I have chosen to list only my direct ancestor, Maria Friend, as a daughter of Nils Larsson and Anna Friend. Please refer to Dr. Craig's family profile for the other children and their families.

Nils married Anna ANDERSSON, daughter of Anders ANDERSSON and Christina GULBRAND, in 1656 in New Sweden Colony.¹
