Hedvig Lovisa Rinell

Hedvig Lovisa was born in Skyttorp, Uppland in the Tensta parish of Sweden on October 12, 1867. Her family were farmers. In 1886 she attended a school to learn to become a teacher, and the following year started teaching at a small school of Lyan Alunda near Uppsala. About this time she went through what is commonly called a religious experience and decided she wanted to become a missionary. To confirm her new religious life she wanted to become baptized and did so in 1889. The pastor who baptized her was Johan Alfred. A romance began between Hedvig and Johan Alfred. In 1892 they married in Fredrikshald, Norway.

The Diaries

Hedvig's diaries are either one year per volume or several years per volume. If a diary contains several years this diary has been broken down into individual years online. This decreases the size of the file, which allows the file to open more quickly on the web, and makes it easier to find events related to one particular year.

All the diaries are in Swedish.
