Looking for relatives of my GreatGrandfather, Johan Gustaf Sjogren. Born Goteborg (?), Sweden, in late 1860s. Came to USA mid-1880s, worked briefly in Susquehanna, Pa, settled in Roanoke, Va, and worked as a railroad machinist. Lutheran. Married Cora Alderson, 1892. Had a younger sister, Annie, who came to USA around 1900, and moved on to Chicago (?). Died 1936, Roanoke, Va. Passage papers show spelling "Sjogren." but he Anglicized spelling to "Sogren."

My mother's maiden name was Grace Louise Sogren. Her grandparents, Gus and Cora Sjogren, raised my mother in Roanoke, VA. My mother was born on 8 Feb 1923. Her father's name was Oscar Sogren. My mother was married to Charles L. Hough, Jr. from Roanoke, VA. Both are now deceased.

If this is the same family, I would really appreciate getting information on my mother's family.

Thank you,
Arthur Hough
Stafford, VA

Hello, I just came across your post and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Lizbeth Clay and I live in Salem, Virginia. I am the granddaughter of Grace Hough who is the daugher of a Sjogren. I thought his name was Oscar Raymond Sjogren yet I see you have Johan Gustaf. I am aware of Cora Alderson who is my Grandmother Grace's Grandmother who raised her.

I have attached a pic of Cora Alderson.

I would love to learn all I can. Thank you!
