Dear fellow researchers: It seems I have been shaking the wrong trees in my search for Alexander Hunt. I have discovered that he was born in Krikatala, Varmland Sweden in the mid-1800's. Here are some of the other stats I now have for him. m. Caroline Rose 13 January 1864 in Salina, Kansas Children: Josephine, William A., Mary A., Emma, Frank, August, Anna Emma, Ellen E. and my grandmother, Theodora Blinda Caroline Rose also came from Sweden and settled in Illinois where she married Geo Samuelson, her first husband. Her family name was Olsen. So, any Hunts with Swedish ties may find some connections for me, I guess. Thanks for your time. Regards, Stephanie Dahlberg
