Hi, folks-- Well, I'm suddenly on the asking end of this list... My husband received a rather bizarre letter the other day from a distant cousin in Sweden who thought he might be her long lost brother. Being ever curious, I've offered to help her track this mysterious missing person down. Her father apparently zipped off to the US for a couple of years in the mid-1940s, ca. 1946-1949, and fathered a child in or near Albany, Alameda Co. Since we have not been able to track down anyone with the surname SOMMARSTROM born at about that time (and whose parentage we don't already know!), we suspect the woman remarried after dear ol' Eric headed back to Sweden (ca 1949) and both she and the child took the other man's surname. So....is there anybody of this list who could check for a marriage and/or birth involving a male SOMMARSTROM in the mid-40s in or near Albany? There will be a few of them in Alameda Co. during that period, as my husband and sister were both born there in the 40s, as were several female cousins. Thanks for any assistance any of you can provide. Ginny in Seattle _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
