The updating of the numbering system used on this page has been completed.
Generation 28 is my own; 27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc.
John M. Gwin, Mar 2009




On 19 July 2001, Charity Elizabeth Gwin, the older of John and Sharon's daughters and first of their three children to marry, said "I do" to Beau Scott Pihlaja, the older of Scott and Mary Jo's sons and the first of their three children to marry. Beau and Charity lived for three years in Deerfield, IL, near Scott and Mary Jo and where they were active in the Evangelical Free Church.  Beau graduated a second time from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in May 2008, ending up with both a master of divinity and a master of theology degree.



Charity was an associate editor for three construction/trade magazines in the Greater Chicago area while they were in Deerfield. God has led them to Bangalore, India, where Beau is teaching at a small seminary for a year. After a trying "trying" time, God in His timing and grace gave them a healthy baby boy, Asher Samuel Neeraj Pihlaja, born  September 2008. They plan to return to the U.S. in June 2009, as it seems God is leading Beau into a doctorate program--PhD? ThD?--at an as-of-yet-undisclosed location.

My original information came from my son-in-law, Beau Scott Pihlaja, his parents, and his grandparents, all listed below.

In April 2007 I corresponded with Mike Pihlaja, the youngest son of Jack and Ina (Niska) Pihlaja, who sent me the family tree of all Jack's and Ina's descendants. I've added that information in this green color.

Hi;
Your line of Albees is 1-Benjamin, 2-James, 3-Benjamin, 4-Obediah, 5-Lt William.
My line is same except my relative was William's older brother another Benjamin.
1-Benjamin Albee came from Norwich, Enland in 1637 to Braintree , Ma. We are still trying to find more on him in England, no soap so far-although his father
may have been Edward Albee (Allbee, Alby Albie Albeye) Chuck
