In August 1980, a family reunion was held in Sweden to celebrate Karl's 30 years in Australia. He emigrated to Australia in 1950. He had planned to emigrate to America and join his uncles, Per and Gustav Johannesson. But he stayed to help his aunt Frida run the far that she had inherited from his grandfather, Johannes Petersson. After many yers in Australia, he returned to Sweden when his wife died about 1980. He returned to Sweden and lived with his siblings, Ingvar and Hillevi for a period of time. He returned to Australia and died there in 1995.

The family that emigrated to Australia (Karl Evald Eriksson) tells the story of first wanting to go to Amerika and find the "Brothers" and "Cousins" but being told of Mathilda belief that they wanted no association with there Swedish family and how he, Karl, learned later that was not true. And that it was Mathilda who stopped communicating with her sons Per and Gustav. Have you heard this story? Mike 12/04
