I am searching a Oscar Swen Wistrom who immigrated from Sweden to the US in 1884. I know that his brother Carl Otto lived in Minnesota so I have reason to believe that Oscar did as well. Now I have found a Oscar Swen Wistrom who, according to Minnesota Death Certificates, died in Le Sueur in 1935. Can somebody help me with info about him and his life in the US? I have some interesting info about his (and my) ancestors in Sweden. Hans Smedjeberg Linkoping, Sweden

Hans, I looked up your Oscar Wistrom on the U.S. Census. Hope the information below will shed some light on the lives of your Wistrom family.
