Lynn (Gondorchin) Erickson
The living link of three lines · The living link of three lines
Lynn is the point where three émigré currents finally meet and mingle — a Carpatho‑Rusyn grandfather who traded the Hungarian highlands for a Minnesota lake; an Italian grandmother who crossed the Atlantic as a young war bride out of Rome; and a Ukrainian mother’s family carried out of a shattered Europe on a postwar troopship.
She married Dan Erickson. This archive gathers the people whose long roads all led, in the end, to her family.
