Update to a Swedish Immigrant Brooklyn enquiry I posted years ago. My great grandfather Gustaf Adolph Roman came from the Granna Smaaland area of Sweden. His nephew Teddy Roman emigrated in 1914, and was naturalized in 1918. According to the the third page of the NYC Grooms Index at Surname Given Name Month/ Day/ Year of Marriage County Certificate Number Soundex Roman S Theodore Jun 6 1923 Kings 7401 R550 Teddy and Viola married in 1923, I have a picture of my grandparents, aunt and my father (he was the ring bearer) from the wedding. Then Teddy and Viola honeymooned in Sweden. The 1933/34 city directory shows Theodore Roman working at Blue Bird Tea Room on 5421 8th Avenue In the 1930 census Theodore was living at 958 72nd Street Brooklyn. I have a letter from my grandmother to my father from Jan 1945 where she mentions a visit they were planning with the Brooklyn Romans when my father returned home after WWII. A head injury in 2006 put a hold on my work researching & writing. I am now far enough along in my recovery that my Dr's advised me to get back into genealogy research as part of my therapy. A roommates assistance with clerical work has made this possible. We recently came across of picture of an elderly woman with Swedish writing on the back. I had hoped it was my grandfathers mother, but it was actually his aunt. Teddy Romans mother. Augusta Marie Johnsdotter Roman at age 80 in 1942. She was married to Knutt Otto Roman, brother of Gustaf Adolf Roman my great grandfather. I would love to learn more about Teddy Romans family in Brooklyn.
