Notes:
MARRIAGE
Marriage date received from Ancestry.com. No Place given. In US 1990 Census the number of years married are 9 years. Alabama? This, I think, is not correct. It was not common that people from Scandinavia emigrated to Alabama. After been married somewere else; most likely employment brought them to Alabama. And next to Mississipi and finally Louisiana.

Otto and Emma Molander burial place: Rigmaiden Cemetery._Onne and Mattie Guintard burial place: Perkins
Cemetery.
Edith Backlund and Reese Perkins and son Ray,: McFatter Cemetery.
Although, it looks like 3 different cemetaries, there are no boundries between Rigmaiden and McFatter, just different
entrances. Perkins is across the street from these two. Most people in DeQuincy just refer to all three as the Perkins
Cemetary; but in reality are three cemetries. Hope this helps your research. Please let me know if you receive all
these pictures.
Thanks...David Backlund
