Sweden and Swedish Ancestry

Janet,

Many of the early settlers went first to Ishpeming, MI and worked in the mines for a few years. I would really appreciate a look up for that as that would show my great-grandparents. Johan or Jan Jansson in 1868 and Anna Carlson or Carlsdotter in 1869.

 

Thank you,

Cheri

Cheri, if there are any other places that you can think of in Pope county where people may have gone I can do a search by location.  Let me know it only takes a few minutes to check.  You are very welcome.

Thank you Janet!

I recognize most of the names on this list, and upon further checking I am sure I will know who most, if not all, of them are.

Hello!

My great-grandparents came from Ljusnarsberg Församling, Örebro Län to Pope County, MN. I am researching not only them, but other Swedes who came to Pope County from the same place or other places in Sweden.

Wondering if there might be someone who could kindly translate a short letter and a post card from my great grandparents.  A word by word translation is no making sense to me.
