In Reply to: Translation, please posted by Laurie Potts on January 27, 1998 at 16:05:56: Hi Laurie. Some people sure are greedy, granted the translation is a difficult one, but I will do my best, and it's not gonna cost you a dime. Maybe not with 100% accuracy, but here goes: Erik Granlund, born 1892. PhD 1932. State geologist and docent (academic title) in Geography at Stockholm Academy since 1932, ass. professor at Gothenburg (Göteborg) Academy. Chairman of the Geographic federation 1918-19 and 1924, secretary at the Foundation for Djursholm's antiquity and future. Published numerous analyses of importance (=betydelsefulla), paricularly concerning our soils and "torvmossar" (biological term that I can't translate), executed valuable research concerning settling history, archeologic-geographic problems, etc. with his abundant initiative-capabilities and extensive, thorough knowledge also within post-tertiary closely related sciences. His last and most comprehensive work was the big post-tertiary description of Västerbotten's län. Died March 20. Most of the scientific terms and names of associations and the like have been translated with the help of an old dictionary (1918) and some imagination. Hope I could help you, it should give you the big picture if nothing else. Fredrik |
