But they are a bit of an issue with all of the name changes and immigration stuff. I am hoping that someone out there can help me. My grandfathers parents where as fallows: Oscar Strandberg who we believe was born the 21 of February 1880 and died sometime between 1965 and 1969. He had a brother named Alexander and they both immigrated from Sweden. Supposedly there was a name change in his family somewhere, either by him or his family from Sackrison (Actual Spelling Unknown) to Strandberg. Oscar was known to go by the name of Stramberg as well. He was an adapt musician and died in NY. He was married to Margaret Mary Perron or so my family believes but we have been unsuccessful at finding a marriage date. We do know that they had several children together, Frederick, Robert, Carl, Pauline, and Marjorie Strandberg. My grandmother tells me that she may have been born in Canada or lived in Canada but her parents are both French Canadian. She spent most of her life in Michigan, where she died. Her parents where as fallows. George Perron aka George C. Perron aka Pierre Celestin aka Pierre Celestin Perron who was born May 13, 1886 and died Octorber 5, 1950 (Under the name of George Perron). The death date is confirmed by my grandma who went to the furneral but as to where he was born...my family says Canada but no one has been able to confirm that. He did however work for the railroad and retired from it March 23, 1938 under the name of Pierre Celestin Perron. He was married to... Marie Tersista Celestin aka Marie Tersita Perron aka Theresa Marie Perron aka Theresia M. Perrron aka Teresa M. Perron aka Marie Perron. My family says she is also born in Canada probably around 1872. She died in August 25, 1957 under the name of Theresia M. Perron which was confirmed by my grandmother who was there for that funeral as well. She lived in Michigan for many years along side her husband Pierre Celestin Perron or George Perron. No one knowns what Theresa's maiden name was. That is it, all I have. I know it seems like a lot but with all the name changes it has been nothing but a kick in the butt. As far as I can tell neither Theresa nor George had Social Security Numbers, but they did both die in Michigan. My grandmother is unable to tell me if they had any other children other then Margaret Mary Perron. They may have also used the name Peron or Perin. Any help would be greatly appreciated and you can e-mail me at the fallowing e-mail. littleprowlertylo@earthlink.net Thank you for your time... Michelle Moore
