Grandniece not niece & Harriet's cousins - they are not three sisters[edit]

Hello again Frotronic,
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Further to my having to revert your edit earlier today ... I reproduce below an extract of the family tree as included in the novel

                               Birger (Henrik's grandfather)

    Johan (Henrik's Uncle)                  Fredrik = Ulrika (Henrik's parents)
    b.1884                                  b.1886

 Sofia  Marit  Ingrid             Richard         Harald   Gregor   Gustav   Henrik Vanger
                                  b.1907             b.1911   b.1912   b.1918      b.1920

                        Gottfried = Isabella Keonig
                           b.1927      b.1928

                           Martin  Harriet                                 
                           b.1948        b.1950

I hope this has cleared up your misunderstanding. It is a very common one. Even more complicating is the fact that Henrik does often refer to Harriet as his "niece"! Happy editing Sincerely, – Gareth Griffith-Jones – The Welsh Buzzard – 07: 29, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
