Anyone here from around Jamestown NY?

[Bagge]

Just thought I ask because I am searching my relatives that emigrated from Sweden to America late 1800, early 1900.
I have contact with one great grandson to one of the 7 that emigrated, but that's it, and he don't live close to Jamestown, but some of the others lived there and it would be so nice to find the family back, and i think maybe they would like it to

Any help I can get is wonderful

This is a first for me, I've done a good deal of genealogy of my family but I don't think I have seen someone from the old country looking up relatives who went to the new world.

Mats I would suggest http://www.ancestry.com/ or http://www.genealogy.com/ we have uploaded our family tree and have made many connections with folks in the US and even in South America (some Confederates moved there after the war) but we have a brick wall that dates around 1762 in London, we can't get passed that one fella who we know died of disentary and was buried at Spitalfields in London. I've often wondered if there's someone in UK doing their family tree and wondering "What became of the widow Elizabeth and her child Charles ...".

What a hoot that would be if someone contacted us! Good luck Mats! :zen

Welcome to the world of genealogy. You want confusion, ask me about the fella in our family tree who was born 3 years after his mother died... :idonno :facepalm :hmmm

I have a sister that is manic over this stuff... she has traced the family back to the 1530's (or so she says) in Germany. All I every worried about was how close a cousin was that really hot airman at Lowry AFB? (we shared a great-great grandfather)

well we have a sister of my great grandmother that emigrated together with her 4 year old "sister" what i believe is that it was her daughter and her parents covered for her because she was not married at the time, and when in America she married and took the sister as her daughter but with another name :geek

Yep, that's close to the answer we came up with Mats...or in other words. "To tell a family secret..."
