Louie, You need some more information, like birth and death dates, marriage, immagration dates, who they married, who their children were. Stuff like that. Also, Check roots web Swedish General Message Board, and the surname board. Send a message telling as much information as you possibly know, and someone there will usually do a look up of the CD Emigraten for you. Have you checked the Ellis Island site?? There are multiple sites that will help you with Swedish Geneaology stuff. Read a few of the old messages on the Swedish General Board and they will often direct you to some other sites that will tell you more about reasearch in Sweden.

His name was either Frederic or Charles Lindstrom. Both my grandfather and father were Fred Lindstrom, and they lived in Chicago. My father is in the baseball Hall of Fame, my grandfather was a plumbing contractor. Beyond that, I'm pretty much in the dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. > > >
