Surnames: Backlund Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JGB.2ACI/688 Message Board Post: Hello, I am searching for a John Backlund, born 1885 in Timrå, Sweden. He was adopted by his grandparents as he emigrated to Springdale, Manistee, in 1896. Maybe his new surname later became Larson (his grandfather was named Peter Larson), but, however, the census of 1900 reads John Backlund. According to it, he is in school. Does anyone know where I could find further information about students in such a school in Springdale, Manistee? Thanks. Sincerely, Anders
