Sharon, Greetings from Arizona, I have done extensive research on my Swedish ancestors. In Sweden and the USA. Unfortunatly I do not have time to do research for others. But go to my web site and check out all of the online services in Sweden and the USA. There is e-mail lists to join on the USA Links page that are just for Swedish research. A good one is Swedes Smultron (wild strawberries) I also have an areas of interest page for anyone searching in the USA or Sweden for relatives. I have a states page for all USA research for anyone and a ships page for links for immigration. I think it can help you. http://longstrom.com/ Good luck with your research. Feel free to ask me any questions.
