Autor

Erica Dakin Voolich is a former award winning mathematics teacher who has transitioned from using her problem solving skills in her mathematics class to solving her family history problems. She is the founder and current president of the Somerville Mathematics Fund, a grassroots charity celebrating and encouraging mathematics achievement in Somerville, MA. Erica has authored two books on high harness weaving along with two mathematics supplementary texts on solid geometry and mathematics history for middle school students. She has run weaving and mathematics workshops in local, regional, national and international conferences, and more recently a couple of genealogy workshops and is a geneablogger. Over the decades she worked on her family history on a part time basis while teaching and raising her family. Finding the letters from her great great grandfather's Swedish family when she was her grandmother's executor in 1974, sparked her interest in finding out about Eric Helsten, but it took thirty years to get all of the letters translated. This book is her seventh book on her family history - it is her third focusing on tracing her maternal family history, with a focus on her great great grandmothers
