And btw - Wikipedia changed their Swedish page 17th March this year and 

the

article which refered to the so called Larson papers is now gone....
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensingtonstenen


The English version still has the Larsson material.

I'd be interested to know how that material was removed from the
Swedish version, why and by whom. Could it have been Inger,
and/or her cohorts? Might a kind Swedish reader check the
discussion on that page?



I can's see any trace of either the presence or the removal of any reference
to the Larsson runes. What I do see is the closing sentence:

"There are fantasies that the vanished Greenlanders went to North America
and were assimilated with the aboriginal population, since legends from
colonists in the USA say that they ran into 'white Indians' who became
extinct as a result of a smallpox epidemic at the start of the 19th
century."

Strange (but far from unusual) that Inger should refer to a site that does
not support her views.
