History

[SilentTrigger]

Met and talked to my father's brother yesterday, we all started to talk family history which relived alot of things I didn't know.

Such as my ancester Greve af Wetterstedt, Greve is the same as Baron but in Sweden this was the highest form of noble class. He was very close with the Swedish kings and was highly regarded by them.

He was the one that signed the peace treaty with Great Britain in Juli 16th 1812 and also several merchant treaties among those one was the treaty between Sweden and the United States. Along with several treaties to stop the slave trade.

Thought it was a bit cool even if I'm against a class socity, it is a part of my history so I can't but be stunned at the richness of it

Here's some info on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustaf_af_Wetterstedt
