Elna Eliasson (Persson) - Name given Elna (Ellen) Persson Eliason at birth

During the 19th century the old custom of patronymic naming was going out of fashion, almost disappearing at the end of the century although it continued to be used in some areas and in some families several decades into the 20th century. It was outlawed in 1966, only to become legal again in 1982.

You can see in people born particularly in the middle of the 19th century that they are born with one surname, adults with a second surname, and sometimes a third surname is added. Quite confusing.

I have updated your aunts first and last names. I can use different names depending on the language so in Swedish she is Elna Eliasson nee Mårtensson, and in English Ellen Eliasson nee Mortensson.

Thank you so much. I see that someone has posted the death information on her two oldest daughters. It lists burial in North Platte, Nebraska. She had written in 1868 that they were buried in unmarked graves in Wyoming. But she lived until the 1920s in Moroni, Utah, USA Thanks again for all that you do. --Lon Pearson
