Looking for any descendents of the following from the Cook CO Evanston IL 1910 census
Pihl, John P age 54 born Sweden (1856)
Pihl, Ida age 48 born Sweden (1862)
Erick S age 17 born IL
Katherine D age 15 born IL
Dewey age 12 born IL
Robert age 9 born IL
I believe they went from Illinois to Wisconsin c. 1930
John P is the brother to my great grandfather Otto Pihl and Ida is the sister to my great grandmother Anna Nelson.
Thanks
Lyn

Hi Robert
If your Dewey Phil was born February 20 1898 in Evanston Illinois - the son of John P b. 1856 and Ida S b 1862 Pihl both born in Sweden then we are distant cousins.
Sorry I don't have any information on Dewey past the age of 12 in 1910.
Contact me back and I will give you what information I have.

Hi Lyn,

Yes that is the one in the same. Uncle Dewey, the son of John P and Ida S. Most of the family left Ill and moved to Wisconsin. John P's son Erick had gas poison from WWI,his other son, Robert Pihl (my Grandpa) was a UPS driver in Chicago and later moved to Ohio and was a Golf Pro, than moved to Wisconsin, he died at age 60 in Manitowoc Wi.

Otto Pihl was listed as a witness on John (Jonas) Naturalization documents in 1905

What I am looking for is John (Jonas)P Pihl and Ida S Pih;'s place of birth in Sweden and where and what boat they left on. Since i live in Germany now it is easier for me to travel to Sweden.
