"Cousin-hunting in Scandinavia" by Mary Wilhelmine Williams is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the author’s journey as she explores her Scandinavian heritage, sharing her experiences and encounters with relatives living in the region. The narrative aims to bridge the gap between American descendants of Scandinavians and their relatives who remained in their ancestral homeland, showcasing the cultural connections and similarities between them. The opening of the book sets the stage for Williams' adventure as she arrives in Copenhagen, Denmark, reflecting on her roots and the significance of Scandinavia in shaping her ancestry. The author describes her journey from Germany to Denmark with vivid imagery, detailing her first impressions of the landscapes and people she encounters. Through her observations of local culture, architecture, and familial connections, she invites readers into her exploration of both the physical and emotional landscapes of her heritage, laying the groundwork for the intimate portraits of relatives and places that will follow in the chapters ahead.
