The ceremony of Colonial Swedes Day with the Lenape Indians who lived in the area. They had friendly relations with the colonists. My ancestor, Peter Gunnarson Rambo was an early Swedish Settler at Fort Christiana. He was a justice under Swedish rule, Dutch rule, and English rule. He was a friend of William Penn. He was one of the founders and Vestrymen of the Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church in Philadelphia.

Very interesing history you have Karol. Isn't it interesting to learn these things concerning our ancestors? I have a nephew and a second cousin that have done (and are doing) great work in our family geneology. Ruth
