I am sending you an email with some pictures, if you don’t get it let me know.
First, and this might be a really dumb question on my part, but what does GAR mean?
The Schwedes I have are descendants of Fred & Augusta. I have the picture of him in his army uniform; I never realized it was a 50th anniversary picture. I don't think any of this part of the family did. I am not sure you are aware of this. Fred & Augusta and many of there children and now grandchildren are buried in a cemetery about 45 minutes from me, close to where all the children homesteaded here. Most of those homesteads are still in the families. I remember many happy times at gatherings at those homes when I was a child.
I do have his complete civil war record. I ordered it a few years back when I was really into this research.
As far as pictures, I don't think I have any others of Fred & Augusta. I probably have a picture of their tombstone someplace. It is huge.
I have some pictures of those you mentioned. I have several of my grandparents of course, although he died when I was quite young. I have one of him holding me; they say I was the only grandchild he ever held. Seems strange since I was one of the youngest, not sure if it is true or not.
I also have pictures of Alvina, Herman, August, maybe Louis. Most of these I don't have scanned in, but they are in my albums.
As far as William in Wisconsin. We have talked to someone in that family but don’t have much infom.
I also have some information on the Lena who married William Wellhausen and moved to Oregon.
