Yes he was definitely Swedish. I will try the LDS approach first. Dick

I have several Hansen famililies with ties to Neb. Johanne Elizabeth Hansen Sibbernsen had several children who migrated to Omaha and were married abt that time( 1888) i would be happy to send you the information I have on them ( all from Denmark) if you will email me Meg

Richard, The Swedes have documented all moves and births in their Parishes. Also the Immigration CD from Sweden will tell you everyone who traveled on the same contract to America. Some Swedish mail-lists will do look-ups on the immigration CD. This should tell you Matthew's wife's name. Here're a couple URLs to check out: http://www.smultron.com/ http://195.67.10.227/genea/default.htm > Hi: > I am in need of any help on Matthew Peterson born in Sweden.

Loraine Prutzman > Danville, PA Loraine: Unfortunately I do not have any more data on Matthew that what I published yesterday. Since Rudolph married a lady from Michigan I would suspect that he and Albert were in that area after they came to the US. I do not know the grnadmothers names. Dick

If Swedish, the parishes were required to send in annual reports of who left their parish headed for where. I found a step-grandmother that way when all I knew was that she was from Blekinge, and a year she came over. These records are available on microfilm from the LDS Family History Centers. If all you have is a year, it might take you awhile to weed through the records, but it is possible. If you know from the census that he was naturalized, try to get the Declaration of Intent (First papers) on his citizenship. They usually will give a lot of information on where an immigrant was from, etc. (Not the actual granting of citizenship...which is nice for sentiment, but usually gives little or no genealogical data.) There are quite a few possibilities here. I haven't done Danish or very much Norwegian to know if there are similar records for those countries, but there may be for Norway because Sweden ruled Norway for awhile. Karen

Nels C. Hansen came to America from Denmark/Germany/Prussia area in 1883. Anna (Annie) Marie ANDREASON/ANDRESON came to America in 1884 from the same area. They were married in Omaha, Douglas Co., NE 28 Oct 1887. They left this area and went to Rock Springs, Sweetwater Co., WY in 1890's. I am looking for any information on either of these family names.

If you don't have it available, I can check it (possibly Wednesday) as we have all of the Nebraska state censuses at the public library here. Do you have approximate ages for any of them in 1885...so I can make a better match for you? Karen

Hi, from Pennsylvania -- I am researching a Ransom family that spread west, including MI in the 1870 - 90 period. Noticed the name Everett Ransom Peterson.. Do you know anything about the source of the middle name- Ransom.? Sometimes just a little lead helps. Could his grandmother have been a Ransom??? Will appreciate any info you might have on this. Loraine Prutzman Danville, PA

In reply to the request looking for George HART. I have checked all of the cemeteries in York County, NE and there is no George HART listed. However, there are others by the name of HART listed.

Hi: I am in need of any help on Matthew Peterson born in Sweden. A needle in the haystack as we say here. He was married to Cecelia ??. They had at least two boys, Rudolph and Alvin who immigrated to the States. Rudolph was born in Hoby (or Haby) Sweden. Rudolph married Anna Urbom, b. in Spring Lake, MI. they had five children, Evelyn, Lloyd, Myrtle, Hohn Everett Ransom, and Clinton. The children were all born in or around Phleps County, NE. Anything out there? Dick

Is it possible to ask subsribers to this list to check their cemetery indexes for a George W. Hart, b. 1949/50 Ohio and died Nebraska after July 1893. I suspect he died in a county close to Hall County but I do not know which. Will appreciate any feed back. Thanks.

Charles S. BROWN and wife, Phebe J. CAREY homesteaded in Blue Hill, Webster Co. (Patent record, 1881) , coming from Kalamazoo Co. in Michigan where their 3 sons were born, Willard, Luther, and John C. Evidently Phebe died in Blue Hill, as Charles went back to Michigan and remarried in 1899. Son Luther was also back in Michigan by 1902. We believe Willard and John C. stayed, but have no track of them yet. Would like to find some record of when Phebe died, maybe find where and when she was born that way. Anyone have some idea? Penny Brown, in Florida

I am interested in finding information about LaVern Rogers in Lincoln, NE (Lancaster County). Is there a listing for him in any Lincoln cemeteries?

HI all! looking for any Townsend or Havens family members that are searching the Douglas Co for Townsend or Havens from about 1870 to 1940. Are there any out there??? Linda Linda Hendley minnie-s10@worldnet.att.net

We now have a DAHLEM mailing list for anyone interested in this family. They were in NE during the 1850s. Subscribe just as you would to any other list at address below. DAHLEM@rootsweb.com Thanks Nita

I understand about "Spammers" But I am confused about this: I am being told that we must re-subscribe to 'any' of our lists including this one because of the lists being closed ... Is this true? And for this list too? Sorry if this is sent to the wrong place but I don't want to miss a thing !! ;) Thanks, Babejem@aol.com
