David, Greetings from Arizona, I have been doing research in Silverton looking for a Magnus Longstrom for many years. Have you run across that name anytime? He moved there and then in 1910 to Wyoming and then I lost him. He may have gone back to Silverton because he had a relative named Carl Longstrom living there. He is not in Fredas books. Thanks, Jerry Longstrom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jerry's Scandinavian/USA Genealogy Links-- http://longstrom.com/ Longstroms-- http://longstrom.com/longstrom/ Swansons-- http://longstrom.com/swanson/ Hudsons--- http://longstrom.com/hudson/ Kvanvigs-- http://www.angelfire.com/art/jlong/ Fredericks/Krueger-- http://longstrom.com/Fredericks/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "David and Judy" <djthayer@mchsi.com> To: <cosanjua@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [COSANJUA] Silverton families > Hi, > > I cannot imagine how your request ended up in my email, but I too have > been looking into Silverton families, specifically from the period > 1910-1920, and more specifically of men who worked for the Mears and > Wilfley mill.
