Welcome to the Helling family
Sad ending for us in February when Tomas Helling died. Our son Tomas Helling died on February 21 when he visited Jamaica. His wife Alma and many of our children and grandchildren came to us in Trollhättan on February 27 and 28 for planning of his burial.
On April 2 we will have a ceremony for him in a chapel in Trollhättan, and afterwards a dinner for guests.

Jan´s last book in Swedish was written 2017. But he decided to translate this book about Christina into English during the spring of 2018. All ten chapters of "My sister Christina" are included under the tab CHRISTINA. Even if this is a Book rather than a Short Story, you will find a link to the book about CHRISTINA under tab Short Story. Some of us, like myself, have difficulties to read a book on a computer screen. But unfortunatly no printed book in English has been published. Please, tell us if you have problems reading this book from the screen. Sonja is writing a book about her parents love story. This manuscript is handed over to Anna-Lena, her son Albin and our son Tomas for review and editing. This book will be written in Swedish.
Our Family register. We have a complete family register in our home computer. But this register is not published on internet. If you want copies you may send an e-mail to Jan Helling. He will then help you with information. Photos from flat in Trollhättan and our country house.
