Colldén Documents

Most of the documents linked to this page were inherited by Hellen [Colldén] Rinell or her son Roy Rinell when various Colldén family members passed away. Eventually the documents passed to Oscar Rinell upon the death of Roy, and later Hellen. The documents were added at some time to Oscar's library at the family cabin named 'Sulatorp' near the town of Björketorp, Sweden. Upon the death of Oscar at age 98, Lennart Holmquist, Oscar's grandson, acquired the documents and boxed and shipped them to the United States.
