That's cool. Lots of Scandinavian emigrated to the US. Norway had 800.000 people emigrating to the US. Highest in the world relative to the population.super8mm wrote:I have a great grandmother from Kroppa, Värmland, Sweden and have chatted with some kin from there so never give up hope folks.
BTW i was a adoptee and have found both of my birth parents, 3 half siblings and a daughter.
Is great to hear that you git in touch with your ancestors. kroppa in Sweden is about a 4 hours drive from me.
Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of Swedish ancestry, even if I did some research on my wife's Swedish ancestors

Very interesting story about Peter Krohn. He seems to be the real stuff. Thanks for sharing.CaptJack wrote:Joe, I've mentioned in the past that my paternal 2nd GrGranddad, Peter Krohn
came from Schleswig-Holstein, between Hamburg & Lubeck
to Galveston in 1853. after 20 years in the Danish merchant marine
when it was still Denmark. before the 1865 war.
He married a 27yr.old German girl (spinster from Mecklenburg
he met in Galveston
they eventually settle in Lynn, Missouri south of the river.
the next generation moved back to Texas.
my maternal family- the Burlesons, Rogers, Brownes are Scots-Irsh & English
and immigrated to the colonies in the 1750s
they immigrated from Tennessee to Texas in 1831
when it was still Mexico. before the Texas Revolution
I too have ancestors from Mecklenburg - Vorpommeren.
Strange how much long distance traveling it was in rge old days too.
