Posted on: Falls County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Falls/638 Surname: Brodie, Yates, Sandefer, Hope ------------------------- This is not a direct response to your post,but I also have Texas Swedish ancestors. Is there a reason for many Swedish people to choose to live in Texas? My Grandmother was Swede, born in Galveston,Texas to Swedish parents named Newman, that didn't even speak English. I don't understand why they were in Galveston and wonder if you have any clue. Good Luck with your search, I'm sure enjoying mine. Happy New Year!
