Perhaps you can help me. I too am searching out the Swaidner line in my genealogy. Edward J. Swaidner is my great great grandfather. I know that he was living in Ft. Wayne, IN as of 1902. I have a program from that year with a photo of his son for a benefit concert. Sadly his son, Edward Jr., died in a swimming accident in September 1910 in Butte MT. Edward's daughter, Amy Swaidner, is my great grandmother. She met and married Everet Clarence Teter in 1906 and they settled in Oakland, CA. Amy died from Typhoid fever while on vacation in San Diego, CA in September 1920. Amy and Everet had one child, Everett Floyd Teeters. According to an obituary that I have from Edward Jr.'s death, Edward Sr. was living in Colorado Springs in 1910. There is no mention of his mother in the obituary however from Amy's death certificate, her mother's name is listed as Lena Johnson. I have one photograph of Edward Sr. but I have no idea when or where it was taken. Amy Swaidner was born in 1887, ! Edward Jr., in 1890. I would guess that their parents would have to be at least 20+ years older. If any of these names sound familier or you know of Edward Sr. and his wife, I'd certainly appreciate it.
