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 married the oldest daughter of one of his childhood friends Eddie Lannerbäck, Marléna; who he'd been fated partners withsince before they were teenagers and with whom he had eight children with, all of them from pregnancies which resulted in multiple children; the first and last two being sets of twins, with a set of quadruplets between them.
The elder set of twins were Erik Leopold and Ingrid Linnèa, both nearly 18. Erik was extremely cl9se to his dearest twin sister and was actually 6 minutes older than her (though he rarely teased her about that fact) had short, curly blackish-brown hair and their Pappa's chestnut brown eyes whilst his sister Ingrid was an exact copy of their darling Mamma in almost every respect, excepting her striking olive green eyes, which her Mamma had repeatedly stated were a tone expressed if one had blended the hues of the eyes of both her paternal grandparents.
Erik had a budding romance with the granddaughter of the vocalist of famed local heavy metal band Insane Criminal, Klara Maj Lenore Andreasson, that he kept secret from his entire family (Parents and siblings included) but was unaware that his Mor suspected it was she he was spending a lot of time with whenever he left their house, and didn't return til super late in the evening.
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 states, which included several first and second cousins - while their families were vacationing in their beach houses down by Kräskimsbadet.
Their middle children were quadruplets who were almost 13…. First was Oskar, the image of his Pappa, (and his paternal great grandmother's pet) and worshiped the earth his Peppa and big brother walked upon. After him was the favorite of the entire maternal side of his family - Matias Einar Solberg (named first to honor his maternal great grandfather who he was a perfect reincarnation of, who had resided with his eldest and favorite grandchild since shortly after his wife's death, who was always thankful that one of his descendants had purchased he and his wife's home in a quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of Ärnköping's business and central district, because it had given him the opportunity to spread his wife's ashes upon the gardens of the house they'd bought and lived in together. And his Mamma's unofficial triplet brother as well as his Pappa's cousin; who tragically frozen to death in a harsh blizzard in New York City some two and a half years prior to he and his siblings' birth) the other two were Freddie (who was intent on being the heartbreaker of their family) and Liv (who acted in a similar manner to what her Mamma assumed her dearly departed FarMor would've done at that age), 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, sharp wit and overall unpredictable nature, was just as interested in her as she was in him.
The two youngest were twins, just as their eldest 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 2054, 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 four children, and was not well understood by her siblings and cousins since none of those kids were from a marriage: there was a little girl named Dahlia, then a few years after her a little boy named Börje, and with yet another casual relationship came two more boys, Emmanuel and Charlie, almost three and a half years prior to the setting of this tale. She had conceived them by three seperate men, since the last two were identical twins.
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 Österfänd 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 and Olof.
