Hildur Christina Krafve Mattson (1895-1976)

It is not always about your ancestors but ancestors that have made a difference in your life.  When I began looking at my records regarding Hildur I realized that things weren’t right in my software, Family Tree Maker for Mac 2.  I thought that I had the relationships right.  I had the relationship of my stepfather set to step and his relationship to me as step, but his still showed up as my father and Hildur as my grandmother. I finally figured out that under People, Attach/Detach people that if I detached myself from him that he popped up as my stepfather and all was well.  I think the process of establishing relationships in FTM4Mac2 is unintuitive and should be streamlined.  How half siblings and stepsiblings
are displayed are not clear and are difficult to get correct. I think that if
you put the correct relationship in the relationship tab that should be all
that should be necessary.

While writing this biography, I realized that I only have one photo that includes Hildur, and that one is a distance shot from Christmas 1970.  Of course, upon scanning the photo and cropping it to include only Hildur it is very blurry and poor quality.  If anyone has a better photo of her I would
love it.

Hildur’s parents came to America from Sweden in 1885 and 1887 and settled in Minnesota. Hildur was born on 26 May 1895, the third of six children to Josef (Joseph) and Maria (Mary) Persson (or Person) Krafve in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1]

In 1900, the family lived in southeast Minneapolis at 717 28th Ave, an area that now the University of Minnesota Reuse Program buildings.[2]
