Hi, Find the exact year that they immigrated to the United States. You can find this information in the United States Censuses for 1900-1910-1920.Find the censuses at a Family History Center (link given in another post) or at NARA (link to locations given below.) When you have that information, you can ask this question at one of the Swedish lists or boards. I gave you an address for one Swedish board in another post. Here is another board. http://genforum.genealogy.com/sweden/ Use the SweGGate address I gave in a different post and follow this path to find out more about the Emigrant CD and what you need for a successful lookup. Sources --> Libraries and Media --> CD Emigranten --> SweGGate Guide That lookup would provide you with the parish name at the time they left Sweden, and with that parish name, you can discover lots of information about these ancestors. The Swedes have excellent records and if you understand how to research in Sweden, you will learn a great deal about these people. Good luck! Judy
