I've been digging around in ancestry.com. It may (or may
not!) be of interest to you to know that your Emma Laudon,
wife of Sixtus Gotthard Reenstjerna, is actually Emma Loudon,
daughter of Robert Loudon (b. 18 Mar 1833 in Scotland). Note
the different vowel: LAudon (yours), LOudon (correct).
There's a fair chunk of information about Robert and his
family in the Ancestry World Tree files.
I'm interested in Emma's sister, M. Jennette Loudon, who was a
pianist of some note in the Chicago area. Emma was living
with her sister in 1930 (see the 1930 Census), listed there as
a widow. However, in 1920 Emma was living with another
sister, Grace Loudon, and on the census that year it _appears_
(the handwriting isn't clear) that she lists herself as divorced.
