I am looking for descendants of Gustaf Adel (Adolph) and Elin (Ellen) Gustafson of Minneapolis. Adolph Gustafson worked for many years at Washburn Crosby Flour and died in 1950. His wife died in 1939. Their three children were Ingrid (1890-?), Helen (1901-1985), and Eskel (1893-1964). Eskel's wife was called Luella and their children included Richard and Edward. Helen I believe married Charles E. Powell, a pharmacist, who died in 1956. Adolph and Ellen Gustafson came from Sweden to Hastings, MN, around 1888 and to Minneapolis in 1902. They lived for many years at 3308 34th Avenue South at least up to WWII.

Here is some information that might help: Name: Eskel Gustafson Home in 1930: Robbinsdale, Hennepin, Minnesota Age: 36 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1894 Birthplace: Minnesota Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's Name: Luella Household Members: Name Age Eskel Gustafson 36 Luella Gustafson 34 Richard Gustafson 12 Billy Gustafson 8 Edward Gustafson 3 Here are the birth records for Eskel's boys: Gustafson, Richard Repetto Date of Birth: 12/16/1917 Mother Maiden Name: Repetto certid# 1917-48470 County of Birth: Hennepin Gustafson, Carl William Date of Birth: 08/22/1921 Mother Maiden Name: Repetto certid# 1921-48248 County of Birth: Hennepin Gustafson, Edward Charles Date of Birth: 08/09/1926 Mother Maiden Name: Repetto certid# 1926-42438 County of Birth: Hennepin Eskel died 20 Mar 1964 in Hennepin County Charles E.

Inga is living at home in 1920 but not 1930. Her name is too common to try and find. The 1900 census does say she was born July 1889. If I can find kids for Eskel son's I will email you directly.
