This family's story is somewhat intertwined with that of the Lannerbäcks as both families lived in close proximity to one another in Ärnköping. Sometime in early 1996, Jan Henriksson met and fell in love with Alva Martens, by the last day of the summer of the following year, the two were married, with Matias and Ormhild as groomsmen and Ingeborg as matron of honour.

On the penultimate day of December of the following year, the couple's oldest child, a son named Jonas, who eventually married an orphaned woman Ida, who he found years later was actually the cousin of one of his childhood friends Eddie Lannerbäck. The couple had three children, a set of twins born early in the Autumn of 2027, and a younger son born on the fifth to last day of March in 2034.

Their oldest son, Einar Bosse, moved to America to spend some of his college years with the woman who'd eventually become part of his own family and was he and his sister's dearest childhood friend. After graduation, he moved to New York and unfortunately perished in a harsh blizzard which had occurred on the twenty-third day of January in 2054.

His twin sister, Ilse Cecilia, was happily married to Thor Valderson since the 19th day of June in 2052 — their relationship of course being perpetuated by Marléna — and the two eventually moved back to Norway with Thor's Bestemor shortly following the death of his Bestefar in March 2057. The couple currently resides in the medium sized town of Kyrluná, Norway which lies on the eastern coast of the country that shares a border with Sweden — wherein Thor is a high ranking local police officer — with their four children, their first son Dag, a set of twins who are considerably younger named Ivar and Lilia, and a son even younger than them called Søren.

Marléna once more had a hand in the relationship of one of Jonas and Ida's children by introducing their youngest son Ola Aksel to his eventual soulmate — Marina, the niece-daughter of her father's business partner Mikko. They had three sons and a daughter. Olavi the eldest looked like his grandfather/great uncle but was much more like his father in temperament. Their only daughter Manda was next and stood out from her family because of her bright red hair, and was needlessly cruel towards the two youngest boys, Ben and Seb.

Jan and Alva's middle child and younger son Per-Jan, was a perpetual bachelor who loved to spoil his great nieces and nephews — 20 in fact that he saw no harm in remaining child free.

Their only daughter Alicia inconspicuously matched with her oldest brother's other best friend Ray, and moved with him to Ralmö. Much like her oldest brother, they eventually had three children.

Their eldest son Henrik David, had his mind set on receiving the affections of his dearest childhood friend — but for many years he thought the only one he wanted was off limits to him — and fortunately for him, he crossed paths with Marléna again on New Year's Eve in 2051 — and was quick to lay his claim to her and she herself was overjoyed when he reiterated that he was prepared to adopt the twins she had with her previous partner.

Of those twins, Erik was the elder by six minutes (not that he ever teased his twin sister about it] and had a romance with Klara Andreasson, granddaughter of the vocalist of legendary local band Insane Criminal, though he kept it well hidden from his family, or so he thought. The only thing that marked him as a descendant of his mother were his steely-blue eyes... in every other sense he was the perfect reflection of his biological father, and it still hurt his Mor at times to look at him. His slightly younger sister was every bit the image of Marléna and had inherited all her Mor's wit, charm, and physical attributes except for her eyes, which shone a lustrous olive green color, her Mor always said she had an eye color that was the expected shade if you mixed her maternal great-grandparent's eye colors. Ingrid had from a tender age demonstrated that she was gifted vocally, possessing a natural and perfectly tuned mezzo-soprano range, well on her way to attaining coloratura status. Although many a local boy had expressed romantic interest in her, Ingrid's heart already belonged to Vince Larsson, whom she spent the summers she wasn't visiting her extended family in the US and staying with her biological father and his wife, and their paternal half-siblings, while their families were vacationing in their beach houses down by Kräskimsbadet.

After a few years of marriage, they finally conceived a set of quadruplets: The eldest was Oskar, who'd inherited his Pappa's name as his middle name and was just like his father and spoiled by Alicia, the next was the image and identical personality of the proud maternal great grandfather he was named for and the most treasured grandson of, and called Matt as a point of distinction from the aforementioned maternal great grandfather); Frederik or Freddie was next, and was set to be the resident heartbreaker of the family, lastly was the dainty, demure and softly-spoken Olivia or Liv rather who was a talented brutal vocalist (which was at odds with her overall demeanour) and was already crazy for Vince's brother Messiah, who for all his edgy moodiness, sardonic, shap wit and overall unpredictable nature, was just as interested in her as she was in him.

The two youngest were twins, just as their step brother and sister were, except in reverse. Ally, who was the elder of the pair by 4 minutes, was a sweet, carefree and loving child. If her older brother Matt was the most treasured grandchild of his maternal grandfather. then Ally was that of both her paternal great uncle and aunt as well as godmother, because she was the image of their son and brother who'd unfortunately perished in a harsh blizzard in New York City in late January 2053, while her brother Löki looked exactly like Ilse herself, even more than Ilse's own daughter Lilia did.

Then was the black sheep of the family Olga, who through her steady stream of casual boyfriends had somehow ended up with two children, and was not well understood by her siblings and cousins since these kids were not from a marriage, there was a little girl named Dahlia, and a few years after her a little boy named Börje.

Lastly their was Filip Daniel, who had two sons with the youngest Larsson daughter Silvia. The couple lived in Ralmö with their two sons; Lars was the oldest and though named to honor the maiden name of his mother, he bore an oddly uncanny resemblance to the father of his Faster Marléna, with his medium length, dark brown hair and brook brown eyes. Olof was the younger son and was just over two weeks older than and extremely close to, in spite of living several hours away from, his cousins Ally and Löki, and much highly resembled his father with his curly blond hair and sense of humour but his Mor's bright blue eyes.

Filip often drove over the Östenfänd bridge and into Lövnhamn where he maintained a high paying position at the Rasmussen Shipping Company... Being close friends and technically related with to the boss's family had made him quickly rise through the ranks... the heir of the company Christian (often called Chris) was married to and had six sons with Silvia's older sister and were all really close with Lars, Olof and the children of Silvia's younger brother Kjell, who also worked there, but fewer days than the rest.
