I read Swedish and I searched for some reference to Freses. The Freses were
a well educated family, Henrich Frese was a doctor and specialist in herbs
at the court in Moskva and his dotter Helena was well educated. They
exchanged letters and worked out names of herbs, flowers and natural
phenomena.
Can the name the Freses be related to them?
Ana

ps: if not, send to me the pieces in Swedish you don't understand!
