Church records in Norra Rörum in 1976 showed that Olander's occupation was as a "husar," which means not just a soldier but a soldier in an old and respected unit of the Swedish army. His place of residence was "Barkehus" (”a bark remover’s house) near “Snickarhus” (“a carpenter’s house”) in the "Ågerupshus" area. Olander's name is first spelled "Wind" in the record books but later as "Windh." The pastor, Hans Grimhammar, said "Wind is an old soldier name."

Clayton Person, Olander’s grandson who visited Norra Rörum in 1955 (and perhaps at other times), says there were no records of Olander Windh’s parents in the Norra Rörum church records because they were born in another parish. Lloyd Person says that Maria once showed him the approximate location in the Norra Rörum cemetery where either Olandere’s or Cecilia’s parents were buried.

Cecilia herself may well have been born in the very Norra Rörum farmhouse where she lived her life, joined there by Olander when they married.

Olander's farm was tiny, but it may have been quite an achievement that he owned any land at all. Apparently during his lifetime he took ownership of the house and its attached thatched-roof barn and 3-4 acres from the neighboring Ågerup farm. It may have belonged to Cecilia’s father before they were married. Cecilia was likely born in this very house, and Olander moved in when they were married. All Olander and Cecilia’s children were also born in this farmhouse, which was destroyed before 1976.

Clayton Person wrote that in about 1870 the Swedish government encouraged people to adopt surnames that would remain permanent. For instance, Olander’s last name, by custom, would have been Persson, showing that he was Per’s son, just as his wife’s maiden name was Svensdotter. But at some point he apparently chose Wind as his surname and later added an “h”. For some unknown reason, one son, Oscar, used Person. Exactly when he chose to do so is also unknown but likely before he left South Dakota for Canada in the first decade of the 20th century.

Olander may have been in and out of the Swedish army over the years, probably because his tiny farm wouldn’t reliably support his family in bad years. He also had to give a certain number of days of work a year to the big farm which adjoined his farm. Probably in the 1920s, Olander had a small red frame house built a few steps away from his house and attached barn. But when it was finished, Cecilia reportedly said, "I'm not leaving here (the old place)" and Olander replied, "Neither am I." So it remained empty. They may have intended to move there if and when Maria ever married, in the event she and her husband took over the farm and the old house. She may have been engaged at about that time but she never married.

One source says the Windh farm was perhaps about 30 acres, another says 3½ acres, and the land was poor . . full of rocks. To John Windh in 1976, it looked like the latter. Olander spent his spare time in the winter making wooden shoes.

After her parents died, Maria continued to live on this farm (with Ture) until her own death in 1957. In about 1938 she sold the farm back to the former owners, who gave her permission to stay there as long as she lived. When she died in 1957, there was no family who could arrange to have her name added to the family gravestone. Gladys Windh arranged that after her visit in 1976.

Olander and Cecilia likely lived a hard life, bringing eight children into the world, five of whom left for the New World. They probably saw only two of their grandchildren, Oscar's daughters Gladys and Ellen. Gladys visited them with her dad at Christmas in around 1927 and Ellen came with her mother in about 1928.

Olander and Cecilia are buried in the cemetery which adjoins the parish church in Norra Rörum.

Norra Rörum's church is the parish church in Höörs parish in Lund diocese
The church is originally a medieval Romanesque church, built at the latest around the year 1200. A chancel was added to the north in 1771. A "new church" was added to the south in 1782. Around 1830, the brick vault of the inner ceiling was demolished and replaced with a barrel vault. The altar was moved from the chancel in the east to the middle of the north wall. A new sacristy was built on the north side of the church. The church was then oriented in a north-south direction. In the 1950s, the church room got its current appearance.
South-east of the church stands a belfry which probably dates from the beginning of the 18th century. Two bells hang in the pile. The larger is from 1707 and was cast by Lars Wetterholtz (1667-1724), Malmö. The small bell is from 1728 and was cast by Andreas Wetterholtz (1702-1771), Malmö.
The sandstone baptismal font is considered to be of the same age as the church and is its oldest inventory. The accompanying brass baptismal font is from the 16th century.
The altar has a canopy from the former "altar pulpit.”
On the wall above the altar hangs a triumphal crucifix from the 16th century.
The pulpit is from 1606.
Organ
In 1875, Anders Victor Lundahl, Malmö, built an organ with 9 parts.
The current organ was built in 1960 by Frederiksborgs Orgelbyggeri, Hilleröd, Denmark.
