The old water-powered hammer mill at Gravendal, where many Elgs worked as blacksmiths, has been restored to working order. More photos can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/len_elg/sets/72157628668037499/
This blog is about the history of the Elg family, originating in Säfsnäs county, Sweden (note that there are several unrelated Elg families from Sweden). It is a complement to the family history website at http://web.telia.com/~u85435856/ , I intend to post new information - and questions - here, where you can get access to it before I have time to update the website.

Hello. My family (the Hellsings) also worked at the Gravendal hammer. I will be visiting there today (my second visit, the first was in 1992). I live in San Francisco, CA, USA.

Great photo. I love it when historical places can be restored instead of demolished. Too many of them are being lost.
