I am looking for information on Andrew Peter Ollson family. He came to America from Sweden in Oct 1854, age 17. His mother Lena died on the ship and father Jonas died early 1855. I heard there was a newspaper that listed new immigrants. Does anyone know how to find it or what would have happened to Augustus age 7 and Carl Johan age 2? Do any Ollson's still live in Geneseo? Thanks. Valorie

Valorie and Others on the list the 1880 US Census is Free online at http://www.familysearch.org/ fill in as many or as few blanks as you want. when you click on a name in the upper R corner is a selection to get the whole family at once. In the R you can also get previous and next household. Remember * is a wild card and can be used instead of a first name. Sally

And boy is it a handy item too, even though they did not transcribe ALL the lines of info available (so once you find your group, get the page number info and go look at the film) Based on information found in an obituary related to Isaiah Whitehouse, I had information that he had moved to Iowa then a couple of other states out west, but had never been able to find him in any of the states mentioned in this obituary in 1880. Well, thanks to the "exact spelling" being turned off on my 1880 search I found him, name horribly misspelled but with the right group of wife/children (including one we never knew about!) in a state NOT mentioned in the obituary--Missouri! On the Henry co site when I updated it I included a link to the 1880 census free search http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilhenry/index.html click CENSUS. If anyone knows of any online census records free to access which would cover Henry Co that I do NOT have listed on that page, please let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carroll & Sally To: ILHENRY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 3:37 AM Subject: [ILHENRY-L] Free 1880 Census Valorie and Others on the list the 1880 US Census is Free online at http://www.familysearch.org/ fill in as many or as few blanks as you want. when you click on a name in the upper R corner is a selection to get the whole family at once.

Alan, was your Andrew married to Lucinda Nesbaum? I might possibly have a lead for you. Jan Alan Persons wrote: > I am looking for information on Andrew Peter Ollson family.
