Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/759 Surname: Vimmergren, Wimmergren, Wemmergran, Beye ------------------------- Trying to learn something - anything - about my ggrandfather, Axel Emil Andreas VIMMERGREN (WIMMERGREN, WEMMERGREN), b. March, 1868, emigrated from Kristdala, Sweden in 1872 with parents Nils Magnus, mother Maja Lisa and brothers Carl Viktor (Victor) and Nils August. I understand the family settled in Galesburg, Knox County. Sometime before 1895 Axel married Lenora (Nora) BEYE, b. Oct. 1872, Pennsylvania. I'm not certain of her parents, but suspect her father was either August Earnest BEYE or Andrew Frederick BEYE. Since Axel and the Beye family all show up on the Kansas state census in 1895, I suspect Lenora and Axel met and married when the Beyes traveled through Knox County on their way to Kansas. Many thanks for any help.
