Descendents of MARIA KRISTINA (MAJA-STINA) MODIG 1815 - 1897 and LARS ANDERSSON MODIG 1803- 1855 met to explore the places were their ancestors lived and worked. Of special interest were all the places Maja-Stina had to move around in the area because she was poor, as her husband died early. She had 7 children to take care of. Three of them were represented by: Neil Blomberg (Anders Johan), Hans Forsslund (Carl), and Per Elzén (Gustava).
Neil's wife Joanna and Per's wife Ina also came to the meeting.
The meeting was arranged together with Daretorp area interest association (Daretorpbygdens intresseförening). In the morning we met Herbert Hjelm, Gösta Johansson, Kjell Gustavsson at Parstugan, the association´s "home building".
Anette Ericsson from the local newspaper came and made an interview for an article that was published in Västgötabladet Friday September 30, 2011.
After the interview we split up in three cars and went around Daretorp to see the places where our relative hade lived. The buildings were long ago pulled down but to feel the nature were they lived was overwhelming.
