John Andersson Waltonen

Family & friends

Today in 1875, my (Grand)daddy’s grandfather, John Andersson Waltonen, was born in Finland, on a prosperous dairy farm.

He and one of the milkmaids had a “miracle baby” (according to my GDaddy, “a baby miraculously born only a few months after the wedding”). His family didn’t accept her, since she was lower class, so they immigrated to America.

John’s wife never did learn English.

Without class struggles, lax immigration policies, and premarital sex, I wouldn’t be here.

    “Without class struggles, lax immigration policies, and premarital sex, I wouldn’t be here,” says Florida Woman.

    Probably Matt Gaetz says the same thing. Maybe he represents the people of Florida’s first district better than I’d thought!
