same applies to her brother
Lizzie’s maiden surname should be Ritchie, not Woods.
Mary Ann Dell is also of Irish and Scottish descent.
Elizabeth Jane “Lizzie” Ritchie -> Eliza Jane Ritchie
Her death record says that although an Irish immigrant, she was Scots-Irish (Northern Irish), not Irish.
I have identified Elin’s parents as Ingrid Maria Zetterstrand (please, don’t put her surname in parentheses because that is her maiden surname) and Erik Robert Haraldsen through correct guessing.
And, I have verified her paternal grandparents. Leif Haraldsen was the son of Harald Hansen and Hulda Sofie Andersen. Leif was born in Tønsberg, Norway. Mary Ann Dell was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, of possibly English descent.
same applies to her brother
Harald Hansen -> Harald Theodor Hansen
I have found Elin’s genealogy, however I cannot get her parents’ names. His parents’ surnames are Haraldsen and Zetterstrand.
Her paternal grandparents’ surnames reflected that she is of Norwegian and English descent. However, it is not clear if this is accurate.
Elin’s paternal grandparents were Leif Haraldsen and Mary (likely Ann Dell).

And also please, revert her ethnicity to Swedish because Norwegian and English are not yet verified.
