My great grandfather was John (Jno) Shellgren. I have found the spelling for shellgren many different ways. He came from Sweden with his mother and some how they settled in Texas. From the best I can figure from census, they came to America about 1860.
I found his mother in the 1900 census, living alone in a Swedish community in Hutto, Texas.
I'm trying to find where they entered America and how they came to be in Texas. It is really a stonewall.
Any help is greatly appreciated. My email address is:
jbrown11@bak.rr.com I eagerly look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
