Do you mind doing this for me? I really appreciate the help and I don't want to impose at all. This has been a lot of help - it REALLY has. The reason that I don't want to impose is - there is more help on this line that I need too. I have written to my relatives in Sweden to see if I can get something but we have not written to them in years - I mean years so I don't even know if the address is good let alone them still being alive. My ggrandmother Amanda Caroline Anderson - was the only descendent from Sweden to come over we think and she only had one daughter - My grandmother. You see her sister was supposed to comer over but got in trouble (not sure what that was) and could not come so my ggrandma took the ticket and came over. I was able to find some information on her - Birth date 18, Sep 1889 - Died 17 Nov 1962 and she was married to Gustaf Fredrickson who was born 31, Oct 1889. But nothing on her parents or anything like that. When I found the date she immigrated over here from the ship manifest I took it to my grandma and he was almost in tears. She thought that was the coolest thing. You see - the only thing that my grandma has (which I thought was really weird) was her mom's bible. There are inconsistencies to if she was Karlsson or Andersson. My grandma seems to think that her fathers name was Carl and when she came over she switched to Anderson which does not seem to make sense. She is 91 and is pretty sharp lady but sometimes I think that she might be confused - that was a joke, I really love my grandparents and 60% of the reason I am doing this is they are still alive. I spent a lot of time trying to find something on the Swedish pages - ok, days but they are pretty confusing and I abandoned that for now. Anything that you find I would really appreciate.
